I WILL NOT SAY GOOD BYE
I will not say good bye,
I cannot even start.
It would be much easier,
to let go of my heart.
You’ve been part of my life,
for such a long time now.
They say I must go on without you,
but I just don’t know how.
I will not say good bye,
because you’re not really gone.
Your body may now be at rest,
but your spirit still lives on.
I think of all the things we did,
all the memories we’ve shared.
My life was made more bearable,
just knowing that you cared.
I will not say good bye,
because you feel so near.
And as long as I’m alive,
a part of you is here.
All the words you said to me,
filled with so much love.
Let me know that somehow,
you’re watching from above.
I will not say good bye,
because I know we’ll meet again.
Angels will show me where,
after God has decided when.
And here’s what I look forward to,
more than all of heaven’s grace.
To see your friendly smile again,
and feel your warm embrace.
