Last Goodbye
We sit silently in the crematorium
You are in a box, a large spray of white lilies placed on top
I hold my breath for to say goodbye is too much
How will I cope with such a loss?
I reason with my self, you lived to a ripe old age
Inside I cannot control the sadness tears roll out of my eyes
I watch as the box begins to slide
Getting up placing my hand on the box I say goodbye
