When We Say Goodbye
We do not know
When we say goodbye
Because tomorrow
Only belongs to God in the sky
We do not know
About the last glance
About the last song
Even if we are young and strong
About the last dance
About the deadly arrow
Where it is pointed
We simply don’t know
Even though we are loved and anointed
The last day comes like a flash
The last breath like a dash
Evanescing before our eyes
To bring pain and sadness
Life is a phenomenal mess
God hears our cries
The cries of our brothers and sisters
God hears our prayers
God sees our heartbreaking tears
God sees how we damp and douse the pews
When we walk away
We do not know
When we’ll pass away
We do not know
About tomorrow
We do not know
About the very last day
We do not know
When we say goodbye
If another hello
Will take place under this sky
We simply don’t know
About tomorrow.
P.S. This poem is dedicated to all of us.
We will miss our beloved sister Tania Marissa Joseph Maranhão.
