Love's Last Goodbye...
in loving memory of Norbert Terrio, we miss you..
Life takes it's toll,
yet time pushes on...
You don't understand
the things that you know.
Deny the reality,
the pain is too deep,
Things would be easier
if you could just go to sleep.
But sleep isn't easy,
you want love to stay.
Afraid to close your eyes
lest life slip away...
Saying goodbye
seems the hardest part.
The simple acceptance
tears you apart.
The suffering is great,
the pain is unreal,
So you try to hide
the hurt that you feel.
This kind gentle soul,
the love you adore,
Lies quietly awaiting
the opening of the door.
Beyond is such joy,
solitude and peace..
Your love is still waiting
for your gentle release.
You know it's time,
the tears fill your eyes,
Tenderly you hold love,
and bid him goodbye...
