Goodbye
Goodbye baby Eric
My cute but troublesome boy
Goodbye to little David
You boys gave me such joy
Bye to Frenchie Laura
With your honestly like no other
Bye to my Auntie Pearl
Who was like a second mother
Goodbye to my zealous Uncle
Always encouraging
And Michael too, who always lifted up
When times were discouraging
Goodbye to my Talo
My partner in crime
But always, at the end of the day
These mountains, together, we’d climb
Goodbye to Heather
Worthy of imitation
And my good friend, Devin
To whom I’d vent out my frustration
Bye little Andrea
My cute and lovable friend
Who always rooted for me
Right down to the end
And bye to good ol’ Dano
Distant, but always close
A man who chose spiritual things
Although some would always oppose
Goodbye to my little sisters
Alexa, Zoe, and Sophia too
Goodbye to my service partners
From the young and old crew
Bye to ol’ Danny boy
My big brother bear,
Whose one and only request
Was that I don’t forget prayer
Goodbye Jen to the fur,
Irene, and my Grace face
Goodbye to all the wonderful people
In my life, I can’t replace
Bye to my old friend Stacy,
A sweet & funny girl
Goodbye even to my EX’s
Who at one time made my heart swirl
Goodbye to the J boys
And their mama too
There are many names unmentioned
But trust me, I haven’t forgotten you
(and the list continues...)
