Saying Goodbye

Saying Goodbye by Dawne Zacharias 1 I once knew how to taste I once knew how to smell I once knew what intimacy was 2 I miss the taste of rain on my lips I miss the smells of being close with my partner I miss the smell of the pines and the ocean I miss the act of being with my partner 3 I said goodbye to these things because They were taken away from me by just Living in this world. 4 Surgery took my smell and taste, The war’s accident to the closeness of my partner So what do I do 5 I said hello to sacredness to the wonderful newness of life ahead and hello to When one door closes the Lord opens another 6 I find I need the Lord more I read the scriptures more I say hello to Jesus Christ and Ask Him to walk with me now. 7 He shows me a new way in my life Can I ever be blessed with more than this? I have learned to cherish all these things They are choice before the Lord and of His Making on the 7th day, he rested.
