A Sad Goodbye

dawn
You have gone somewhere that I can not go...
Will you be happy, and how will I know?

I'm afraid to face this world all on my own...
How can I go on, now that you've been called home?

You were so strong and brave in your fight,
I feel like a coward, here crying at night...

My mind travels back to your last words to me.,
I told you'd be fine. .that is what I believed...

Now you are gone, and I can't even say goodbye,
I cant say a word, they all make me cry..

Will you please come to me in my dreams?
Help mend our hearts so torn at the seams?

How I wish to see you smile in the sun...
To know your new journey has yet begun...

I'm so sorry, I wanted you here,
When God himself seems to want you near...

I am selfish to have wanted you to stay,
When Heaven is just one last breath away..

One more hug, that is all I would ask...
But the last one I got, would have to last...

We'll meet again on the other side,
"Til then my brother,.. a sad goodbye...
