Wave Goodbye

Another friend has made his way to where I cannot go.
The light is on, but no one's home. God put him in the show.
You ask God why. Do people die. But just have to wave goodbye.

hmmm, i take it you are on the bad side of 50?? I started making this kind of poetry a few years before hitting that crappy age! Seeing so many people getting sick or dying after 50.It's a real bummer!
