Jasmine Cruz Poet Rhyme

Echoes of Goodbye

( ECHOES OF GOODBYE )

Endless footsteps lead on along the ground,
The grieving people that were here cannot be found.
The black clouds come and hide the crying sky,
Amid those timeworn, lonely echoes of goodbye.

A young man lived here with a wife, a child, a song,
Life he had, but somewhere something went wrong.
A mistake--and he left a mourning crowd,
Left them in a dark, black, and shadowed shroud.

They buried my daddy that day in the rain,
And I cried as I held Momma's hand.
Those tears on her face revealed all the pain,
We never could quite understand.

At the funeral, they'd said my daddy had been,
A good man and too young to die.
And the child I had been asked over again,
Why hadn't he told me goodbye.

Endless footsteps lead on along the ground, The grieving people that were here cannot be found.
The black clouds come and hide the crying sky,
Amid those timeworn, lonely echoes of goodbye.
