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...)
