The Visit
He heard her talk to the doc
then enter the room
She stood by the door
getting used to the gloom
Then he felt gentle fingers
touching his heart
Then she leaned over and kissed him
And he gave her a start
Arm around her waist,
holding her tight
They kissed again,
without a fight
Doc came in
with his professional cough
'Okay young lady,
that's enough.
Couple of days
and he'll be all yours.
Right now he needs rest,
so there's the doors."
CG pleaded
to let her stay the night
Doc gave in and said,
'Alright.'
She lay down beside him
and heard him sigh
While she tried her hardest
not to cry
'I heard about Lou . . .
and Billy too.'
His voice broke slightly
when he said he knew
'I missed her funeral.
Hear she's buried near Lean.
Beautiful spot,
Unger's kept it green.'
He turned his head
to see if she'd heard
But her steady breath told him
- not a word
**********
It was so many years
since she'd come to BG
That feisty reporter
he'd called CG
And he knew deep inside
his fate was sealed
It had been confirmed
in that lilac field.
