Aunt Death Poem

A woman mourns for the death of her aunt.

My Aunt Jean

© Joan C. Johnson
I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing you were still here.
I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.
Through these memories will never part.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing this pain would disappear.
I didn’t get the chance to say my last good-bye.
I just didn’t think you could ever die.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
All of your love I will always hold near.
In my heart and my mind I will never be alone.
When my time comes......
I will meet you in heaven!
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!

My Great-Aunt passed away on Mother's Day of 2007. The second verse especially hit home with me because I didn't get to say goodbye to my "Aunt Jean" and I really thought that she would never die.

My Aunt passed away from a long courageous battle with cancer. She passed on my 34th birthday, a few days ago. It is so hard to say goodbye. I don't know how long it will take for this pain to go away. I know now she is in a better place and free for pain. She will be missed by so many people as she had touched so many peoples lives. Auntie Kim, if you are looking down from heaven above, please know that I love you and miss you so very much. Rest in peace......

My Auntie Carrie passed away this morning, I as well did not get a chance to say good-bye. My Auntie Carrie raised me. I also did not think she could ever die, She was a very strong person who was always there when anyone needed her.

Thank You for this beautiful poem.

This poem really touched my soul. My aunt died on 2/15/09 and I was nominated by the family to write a poem. your poem gave me inspiration to write a poem about the happy times spent with my aunt.
Thank you for this lovely poem

My Auntie died just over 4 years ago now and today would've been her 48th birthday! The second verse hit home as I never got to say good-bye since she was killed in a car accident. I knew she would die one day, just didn't think it would be when I was only 17. I'm so glad there are other people out there that feel the way about their aunts like I did and still do about my Auntie.
