To Those who are still with us... Aunt Sue, Aunt Missy, Aunt Kitty, Aunt Johnita, Uncle Garey, Uncle Cook, and Uncle Hoodie.

To The "Wallace" Family

Don't Hold Me To Good-Bye

I linger right where heart is and trying not to let go
Destined to remain in not looking ahead
One memory at a time I view behind these eyes
As I lie here in denial on heartache's bed...

I'm sure there will be the day I recognize the wind
In it's slightly different blow across me
Years hasn't yet graced my skin in it's timely way
But, you are aging faster then I can grieve...

You may hear me whisper to the forgiving moon
And, fair well may roll from these lips
You might watch me soulfully cry to the skies
But, don't hold me to good-bye in this...

For, I will walk an endless mile to your face
Climb a stubborn mountain in it's height of power
Cling to any wings that can soar me to remembrance
But, never lower my head low in sundown's hour...

Don't hold me to good-bye because I can't do it
Never expect me to die like the seasons do
Can't ask me to whither under extreme warmth here
When a little good-bye falls over me and you...

I still feel mighty pull with your hand in mine
And, each of you I treasure one moment at a time
Understand if I have the vision to know we'll be at it's end
Just don't hold me to good-bye if I don't see you again...
