goodbye

Originally posted on myspace December 30, 2007

surrounded by family and your loving wife
we held your hand while tears fell of sorrow
as you breathed your last breath of your living life
we knew that this time you won't be here tomorrow
you said if you must go, then you were ready
you sure left a lot to remember you by
two families brought together by your memory
as we said final words and one final goodbye
shut down in shock by your hasty departure
the realization is troubling that you won't return
no time for the emptiness that's left to endure
but there is hope through hurting that we soon will learn
you are in peace and your pain is relieved
in a place now where you can find rest
forever and always your death will be grieved
by those who loved you and your actions impressed
finally learning what you knew all along
the pieces placed leave no room for regret
you have entered the place in which you now belong
your guidance on this earth, I'll never forget
