BENEDICTION

This is a message from a widow who died on her way to get her blind daughter a new dress for her birthday,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her I'm dead,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her I'm out of breath,

You can tell her that I'm not coming back until I find the perfect dress for her,

A dress befitting for a queen like her,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her I've been murdered,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her the woman whose death she heard about in the news was her mother,

You can tell her that I fell in love with a drifter on my way back,

And I selfishly followed him out of town so i cancelled out her birthday plans,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her my blood was spilled on the floor,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her what that careless driver has done,

You can tell her that I found a giant turtle dove who flew me on its back to a place of never ending happiness and peace,

And she shouldn't worry about me,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her where I am in a morgue,

Please go to my daughter but don't tell her my body is all frozen up,

You can tell her I said she is the best thing that happened to me,

My heart longs for my daughter, God knows I miss how we used to be,

Please go to my daughter but don't mention my lonely cold grave,

where I'm gonna rot away until the day we meet again,

Until the day we meet again my love.
