Wine – red wine – on her teak table,
Kerrygold in her fridge,
White bathmats and Boogie boards
Mani-Pedis and flip flops.
Her passport was worn with takeoffs and landings
She relished everything about the journey
History, geography
Surfing or camping and lounging.
Her wig and bandana travelled with her
They would never hold her back
She traveled but was not lost,
She knew just where she was going
But she’ll never see the northern lights
I went on without her.
Left her at the hospital,
without a phone to call.
We were the lucky ones
she helped us find what was in our heart
Oh Cora, there was always a part
You saved just for us.
She will never know how much I miss her
How her big heart fit into the smallness of mine
She travelled but was not lost,
She knew just where she was going
Oh, she travelled but was never lost,
She knew just where she was going.
