~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He said goodbye, With a smile, a hug, a gentle That always leaves me Feeling sentimental He said “you’re good” Even when I felt misunderstood, Even when I wasn’t doing what I should, Even when I was going through childhood He said listen to the word What God says, This is what needs to be heard Hope, faith and love – biblically blessed He said “you’re blessed” Even though I often felt stressed. I never would have guessed Such love could be expressed He said goodbye, Leaving me to wonder why He left this world without a fight Oh, yes, I know – He sought the light He said goodbye, And I mourned – I cried But He left me knowing His love would keep showing…. In the hearts he left behind, Those he loved – He was one of a kind Someone who gave love – someone who’d remind That love is the answer for all of mankind. He said goodbye, With a smile, a hug, a gentle That always leaves me Feeling sentimental
