The Wagon
I read the late-nite message<br>I had no idea….<br>Over weeks in the hospital<br>Seems the Final Breath is near.
My track of time stopped..<br>… There appeared a memory.<br>Another,…Another…Another<br>Showing what you meant to me.
Running through Reality,<br>Loading the wagon with lots of fun.<br>Most were good times, some bad times.<br>I wouldn’t change but one.
Took you to The Cove and drunk I got!<br>Said,”You wanna go home? Get a ride!”<br>You called a Jackson cop and he came.<br>(Later you became his bride!)
This caused trouble between me and Terry<br>And, rightfully so, it should,<br>He was a damn good policeman.<br>I’d change that night if I could.
Years later, my life in shambles<br>My own future on the brink.<br>I thought a lot about that night.<br>And Admitted I couldn’t drink.
Making memories continued<br>But at the expense of losing someone.<br>Family members left us<br>Our togetherness wasn’t fun.
I hoped for good times again<br>Load the wagon, find some space<br>To fill with stories of laughter<br>But SORROW, riding shotgun,<br>Has taken up your place.
Thinking of all Life’s’ hats you’ve worn,<br>And how your story will be told.<br>Keeping it real, how you made people feel….<br>GO WALK THOSE FIELDS OF GOLD!!!
I have you in my heart
Love you,<br>Sedgie Taylor
