To my Aunt:
"We Didn't Get To Say Goodbye":
"We didn't get to say goodbye
We're devastated that you're gone
We did everything to try keeping you here with us
Right here where you belong
We didn't know that life would take
Such an unexpected path
That you'd20be 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 believing that you're not too far away
That you’re Spirit still lingers quite near
We'll say our goodbyes in our words and our thoughts
Trusting that each one you'll hear
First, know that you were loved in the truest of ways
So deep that only our hearts can give expression
You'll be forever surrounded by our love
For we're sending it straight up to Heaven
Please know that 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 ..."
WE ALL LOVE YOU AUNT JOAN, AND U WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.
