Aunty Penny
I see her face, I hear her voice,
She says the words she said before.
I feel their force as I did then,
Their power reaches to my core.
The words seem harsh, but said with love.
It's love which carried them so deep,
Within my heart I know they're true,
They are the words I need to keep.
Strange now, when I remember then,
I hated her so much that day.
The passion that those words aroused,
And yet they would not go away.
