With All Our Love
We did not want to say goodbye
You shared the best you were with us
And placed our lives above your own
You comforted and lifted up
And sheltered us and made our home
We did not want to say goodbye
For every time our thoughts of you
In memories seemed so alive
With dreams of things that we would do
But now, though late, we realize
We did not want to say goodbye
And though life’s purpose is not clear
We learn that time demands its due
Yet love, once shared, won’t disappear
And while we’re living … nor shall you
We did not want to say goodbye
But now we must, for you have left
And though we’ll dream of yesterday
You leave us sad, yet truly blessed
So now with all our love we say
… Goodbye
