REMEMBERING MR. LIONEL DODAMPE
The leaves have fallen
And the trees have grown
Night has wandered by
And oh, how time has flown
Yet I remember you
And I continue to mourn
But you have gone
And I feel so achingly alone
What was it that I wanted to say
But never thought necessary
I did say that I loved you
And I knew you loved me
But I missed giving you those extra
hugs
I missed flashing an extra smile
At the someone I knew and loved
At the someone who always understood
So everything seems totally the same
But everything is not, and will never be
The room is empty, the room is bare
You my darling Uncle are no longer there
And the silence of your missing presence
Is shrieking in my heart
And nothing and no one can still it
Not while the heavens keep us apart.
