We Didn’t Get To Say Goodbye We didn’t get to say goodbye We’re devastated that you’re gone We’d have done anything to keep you here with us Right here where you belong We didn’t know that life would take Such an unexpected path That you’d be separated from us so soon Heartbreaking reality we struggle to grasp And bitter though our losing you has been And so profound is the pain that we bear We’re sadder still at no chance for goodbye No final expression of our deep love and care _____ Yet trusting that you’re not too far away Still sensing that your Spirit lingers near We’ll say our goodbyes in our words and thoughts Having faith that each one you’ll hear ______ First know that you are loved in the truest of ways So deep that only our hearts can give expression And you’ll be forever surrounded by our love For we’ll send it with you to heaven Please know you’ll be cherished by each one of us For your example and kindness we’ll treasure We understand now how your life was a gift That was meant to bless us forever And though we’ll miss you terribly We want your spirit to be free Free to enjoy all the wonders of heaven Not bound to us in our grief So watch over us with happiness from heaven For we’ll remember you with mem’ries so sweet And we’ll bravely endure ‘til you’re with us again When our hearts will be healed and complete For surely one day we’ll be together again In God’s arms and in heaven with you For death cannot conquer a love that’s as strong As the love that we all feel for you Copyright © 2012 Poems and Reflections LLC.
