Goodbye

Water leaking from my eye
The time has come to say goodbye
Thirty-five years you smiled so bright
God called you home for eternal life

Compassion and the love that you share
Beyond what most could begin to compare
You left behind family and friends
But your memory is one to never end

Dearest Kenneth. A wonderfully constructed poem. I recall my Mom’s passing. She lived tobe 88, but the saddestfumral was the death of s ome year old. Myhusband died at age 40. I could not believe that! Do remember your one who is now with God. I will be prayimg for peace for you, dear Kenneth, Gracias, Pangie
