Tell Me Your Story


For Aunt Delva
Tell Me Your Story

August 21, 2012

Someday when I cross over 
To that great Someplace Somewhere
I want to find you waiting
In your hard-earned glory there.

Your life was full of sadness
And tragedy and woe.
Your life was full of troubles,
How much I do not know.

But now all that is over
And now your ears can hear
And now your soul is mended
And now your mind is clear.

I want to know your story -
The life you had to bear -
When I cross over someday
To that great Someplace Somewhere.
