Goodbye

I never got to say Good bye, And wish you on your way; But sitting here thinking of you, I’m not sure what to say I missed my chance to tell you, That I loved you with all my heart; And now your gone forever, God called for you to depart. I feel so alone knowing, I’ll never see your shining face; So full of laughter and light, No one could ever take your place. But I’m not sad for you, Because I know where you will go; I’ll just remember all the good times, That your life has had to show. I remember riding beside you, While you tell a story to me; You lived your life to the fullest, Of that we can all agree. It’s time for me to Say Goodbye, Time to set you free; And I hope that wherever you are, You’ll smile when you look down on me. ~For My Grandfather~
