GOOD BYE 

by Brenda Richard

You passed on without

saying goodbye.

For weeks I did nothing

but cry.
I tried to get over it,

I tried to move on.

I just wouldn’t believe

that you were really gone.

 

It’s selfish of me

to think about myself.

I didn’t consider how

you must have felt.

The last breath you had

the thought of that makes me so sad.

 

Now I think of

where you are.

Up in the sky with

clouds, moons and stars.

In a place with

beautiful things.

You’re an angel now

with a halo and wings.

 

God has you now

I have no need to cry.

It’s hard to get over

but I’ll have to try.

I guess this is my way

of saying goodbye.

 

As I write I try now

not to cry.

I want you to know

you have a place

in my heart.

While you’re there

we’ll never part….
