Beatrice Boyle Poet Rhyme

I Never Said Goodbye

I never said goodbye the day you went away
Goodbye was just a word that my heart couldn’t say
But my world fell apart on that dark, dismal day
For forty years we had been wed, 
We were children when we met
And though you had to go on ahead, 
My heart will not forget
You promised you'd always be with me 
That we would never part
And so I keep you my darling
Nestled deep within my heart
