Over the Moon

Over the Moon

A Poem by Randy Johnson
"

Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.

"

If you could've been saved, I would've been over the moon.

But you died and you were taken far too soon.

You had to have a hysterectomy and your left leg amputated.

You were in so much pain, it was something that I truly hated.

 

My brother and I had to end your pain by taking you off the respirator.

If I would've had a choice, I would've rather wrestled with an alligator.

When you died, I came home and licked my wounds.

If you could've been saved, I would've been over the moon.
