Goodbye
Goodbye
I see her now as if it was yesterday
The pillows were her head once lay
Eyes filled with tears, ready to shed
Looked art me as I stood by the bed
Trembling lips that whispered words;
So quiet they were unheard
I knew just what they were
Just for us to share
I turn to go turn, look back
Before my heart does crack
And tears tumble down my cheeks
No solace can I seek
How can life be so cruel to one?
That never has any harm done
But loved her family so long
Yet can’t be where she belongs
With a forced smile, I wave and walk
Away; too upset to even talk
Not knowing it is the last time
I ever see that darling mum of mine …..
