Goodbye
With tear filled eyes I’m left behind
A-walk in trance, still mystified
The rays of setting sun pierce through
As angel wings which carry you…
Goodbye my heart’s eternal love
Speed swift unto the thrones above
Where shining cherubim await your grace
And blessed be He who dwells on high
For granting that I could sit by
In our last moments to behold your face
With trembling hand in trembling hand
Eyes fixed as the last grains of sand
Slid through the hourglass of our true love
And as they slid, a final kiss
“I love you” whispered, and “I’ll miss”
Then silence as the angels from above
Took your hand, for I felt you leave
But on your face a perfect peace
The halo’s mark, a glow beyond compare
And as I cried, and as I cried
Soft came a whisper deep inside
Which told me that soon I would meet you there…
I walk into the setting sun
Each ray to me has now become
Your voice that beckons out to me
“Live on my love and soon we’ll be
Together, but til then my love…goodbye”
