Analysis of Mourning
Brenda Winters 1952 (Vernon,Tx)
Three long years since the death of my man.
Never dreamed he would not take my hand.
I miss your touch and kisses.
Too bad I never became your Mrs.
Why did you have to die when your life had so much fun?
Because your battle in life was over and death won.
