One Lucky Man

DEDICATED TO AGNES JOHNSON (1948-2013) WHO PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 6, 2013.

Since you died, it's been more than I can stand.

But while you were alive, I was one lucky man.

On Christmas Eve of 2012, my friend told me how lucky I was to have you and Dad.

But my luck would soon run out and it's so sad.

Two years ago when you were still alive, I liked the way it was.

I didn't realize that your death would hurt as much as it does.

It hurt everybody so much on the day when we buried you.

But while you lived, I was one lucky man and that is true.
