I Did Not Kiss You Goodbye

I Did Not Kiss You Goodbye By Franklin Price 03/27/2022 I did not kiss you goodbye On the evening that you died It has not ceased to bother me If I said, I would have lied I was saddened by self pity That I was being left behind That was not supposed to happen It had never crossed my mind Our daughter Dani and myself Were holding on to you When the Lord took you to Heaven And your life on Earth was through A calmness overtook us Peace and sorrow in our head Your soul had gone to Glory Your body left there in the bed The priest came soon thereafter Said his last words over you That evening had become a blur What was I supposed to do? Hospice called the mortuary Who took the body left, away All of this within a hour At least it seemed so on that day I realized, I had not kissed you, As God took you by the hand I said the words, “I love you” I pray to God you understand That we're only separated Until we meet again on high I'll kiss your lips again in glory When I leave life by and by
