I Said Good-Bye
Today I had to say Good-Bye
Good-Bye to a friend
Good-Bye to a classmate
Good-Bye to a brother
Good-Bye to a child
A child who shouldn't have died
"Not this young" I keep saying
I said good-bye today
Good-Bye to a young life
A young life gone to fast
To fast to live life to the fullest
I didn't want to say good-bye
It would have made there lifes final,
when I said good-bye today
I knew there lifes would be over when I said,
Good-Bye
Good-Bye to a friend
Good-Bye to a classmate
Good-Bye to a brother
Good-Bye to a child
I wish I hadn't said Good-Bye today,
But I had to say
Good-Bye!
