My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Dear Deirdre

This is a poem I wrote in 2013. I imagine all of my poetry set to music, though I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This one I imagine set to the tune of Sweet Loraine by Fred Stobaugh.

Oh dear Deirdre
Where did you go? What happened to ya?
Oh dear Deirdre
Are you happy now? What have you done?
Oh dear Deirdre
Do you ever think of me, now that I'm gone?
Oh dear Deirdre
Do you think you know why we had to stop the fun?
Oh dear Deirdre
There are so many things I want to tell ya.

I thank you for the good times. I thank you for being you.
I really do wish you well. I wish you luck in all you do.
We never said goodbye. Well, I guess there's no point to say it now.

Oh dear Deirdre
I thought I had more to learn. I want to know your favorite flava.
Oh dear Deirdre
If our paths ever cross, what will you say? Will you speak at all?
Oh dear Deirdre
There are so many more things I want to tell ya.

I hope you've no regrets. You only did what you had to do.
It was never part of the plan for there to be a me and you.
We never said goodbye. Well, I guess there's no point to say it now.

Oh dear Deirdre
I'll say a prayer, a prayer for ya.
Oh dear Deirdre
When we meet in heaven, what will you say? Will you speak at all?
Oh dear Deirdre
There are still so many more things I want to tell ya.
