The Last Goodbye

Eyes that shine with tears unshed watch the coming night
while sorrow bleeds the life away from everything in sight
The hand I hold in mine is cold, and whiter than the sheet
his last goodbye in whispered words...Your love made me complete
As I bend to kiss his brow, my tears now freely fall
and in a sad and broken voice, his name I softly call
Although the path you walk my love, I know I cannot see
Do not wander far away, but stop and wait for me
The love we had together, will help to heal the strife
and all the joy remembered will get me through this life
So take with you each memory, the joy that we both knew
go in peace and know someday our hearts will meet anew
