About the Poem

This poem is to my Aunt Becky who I never got to say Good- Bye to. She died on March 23, 1997. They wouldn't let me see her because "I was too young. "

I Didn't Get To Say Good-bye

by Krista Alley

I went to see you one day
And we rode your horses.
You never told me that you were
Going above one Spring Day.
So I never got to say Good- Bye.

I thought you would always be here
For me and the family.
You never told us you were sick,
Until you left that one Spring Day.

I was with my friend when I got that call
That you had three days left to live,
And they wouldn't let me say Good- Bye.
So I set at home, crying with my friends
Comfort at my side.

When Granny called
And said you were gone,
I thought my life was over,
And never would be the same.

If I could see you just one more time,
I would say, " I miss you and Good- Bye. "

You never know how much you
Love that person,
Until they are gone.
I had to find out the hard way,
And I regret never getting to say Good- Bye.

We will always remember you Aunt Becky.
I love you and Good- Bye.
I will never forget you.

I really like your poem it is exactly like my story. I had a friend that I barely started talking to and he died in a car accident and my cousin was murdered and I wish if I knew that that was the last time I was gonna see them, I would hug them real tight, give them a kiss on the cheek, say I Love Them, and finally say a long Goodbye. But your poem just describes me on how I felt the day that I heard they died!

My great friend Tyler Campbell passed away July 8, 2006. He was 11 years old. When my friend told me he only had 3 days left, I almost died. My friend was there for me. He was in the ICU for 4 days. I didn't get to see him because I was to young. I miss him so much. This was the perfect poem.
