Goodbye

If I could feel you right now
Like I somehow know soon I will
You would feel this longing
And know I am at peace still
My years came and have since gone
But all those moments in between
Forever, I’ll carry you all with me
My Children, my love, my life, my soul
I will always be with you, I know you know
Throughout my life,
As we all do, I made my mistakes
But for those of you I loved, nothing changed
My time passed by in a flash it seemed
But remember this, if anything
Life is too proud, too short and too fast
We often forget to just shut up and laugh
Tell the ones you love
You love them without fear
Because in the end
That’s all any of us need to hear
If ever a word from me broke your heart
Know they were just words, that’s all
Before we know it, we will meet again
My Children, my love, my life, try if you can
To remember I Love You until then!
