Mary Jane Died Last Night Poem by Francie Lynch
Mary Jane Died Last Night
The younger sister
Of the second wife
Of my dear friend
Of forty-five years
Died last night.
You didn't know her.
She died at fifty-six;
For many that's younger,
For more that's older;
For us, we knew her.
I really don't know why
I brought it up;
I shouldn't bother you.
She was...
a daughter, a sister,
a cousin, a niece;
an auntie, a mother,
then a grandmother;
There are many like her,
But none other.
There's more. She was...
a friend, a true friend,
a lover and healer;
a soul mate,
a life mate,
a wife and confidant.
Yes. Such women
We know well.
But you didn't.
Did you?
Well, she died last night.
Just thought you might
Like to know,
Mary Jane died last night.
In the tumult of living, very few interactions leave one with a sense of enrichment. This one did. Thank you.
Once in your life, forever on your heart. An amazing poem, tells the take of holes fragile and fast moving life actually is. Although I do not know Mary Jane, I do know how these emotions spill. Thank you for the artistic truth. PEACE
