So Long
I still hear you sing
Sweet memories it brings
Your kind eyes filled with love
Sweet tales you loved to tell
To speak and make me smile
Night time jokes
Oh! I used to laugh so hard
And watch you laugh as the tears travelled down your cheeks
How time flies!
I just wrote you a poem…last year…
…Last year…Come on!
I used to wish you were here
I used to pray to have you back
Many wishes to hear you speak
My eyes…they leak
My throat hurts a bit
These are all feelings
They don’t last forever
But the memories will never depart
Forever they will remain in my heart
Little precious stones memories are
Now we are apart
You journeyed home to meet The King
Your favorite songs I still sing
I no longer wish you were here
I’m happy you are there
I don’t see you now
It hurts so bad…I know!
But soon I’ll see you again
Say hello to all our loved ones in heaven
Greet The King and stay happy
It’s been eleven years
Oh…these tears!
So long Mama
Till we meet again
So long!
