To Say Goodbye

You taught me many things I needed to know

But where do I start

I really wish that you didn't have to go

The timing of life, I can't understand that part

When I saw you in that bed, it broke my heart

I think about it all the time

Laugh that was contagious and your soul was kind

Still wishing you were here to see me grow

And I wish I would have said goodbye

We had the best of times

Picturing your smiling eyes

Gabriel's trumpet sounded heavenly chimes

I have but one regret

Conversations left on the table

You paid the Father's debt

Suffocating numbness; I wasn't able

To say goodbye
