Some Things Need to be Said

It goes without saying, so I never said it
Only after you were gone did I wonder if I was right

No matter what blood says, you two are my sisters and I love you
But it probably goes without saying

People didn't always take you seriously, but your smile always warmed the room
But it probably goes without saying

Somehow we never talked very much, but I still love you, Great Grandma
But it probably goes without saying

You deserve some of the kindness that you always show to others
But it probably goes without saying

Spending time with you always feels like home
But it probably goes without saying

You married into my family, then showed me what family really means
But it probably goes without saying

I didn't feel the need to point out the obvious
Now I wish I had one more chance to do just that
