Goodbye

How do you say goodbye, When a father starts to cry, A mother’s heart has been broken, Too many words left unspoken. The grief a sister must face, Without you here she cannot replace. Friendships made so long ago, A bond that will never be let go. A wife must stand alone, With a strength she’s never known. A daughter that has your eyes, Whispers to daddy in the sky. Goodbye to a son, a brother and friend; A husband, a father to the end. You will be missed by one and all, So listen for us whenever we call.
