NANAJI

No last greetings or goodbye

No raining tears for me to dry

Gaping emptiness will stay

I’ll miss you more than I can say.

The things you said an’ things you did

Not angry once, you loved instead

All my mischief, naught and play,

I’ll miss you more than I can say.

In your embrace you did me wrap

I laughed throned on your lap

Regaled you stories night or day

I’ll miss you more than I can say.

Your benign face, strong-fragile

Wish you’d stay a little while,

Estranged bliss would again be near

I miss you more than I can bear.
