Final goodbye
I Would Like to Have Been
There by your side
The day that you
Died
I would like to have been,
Able to say goodbye
To you
However,
I was just a young child
Left At home
When the angels came
For you
Dad was there
To hold you hand
And to kiss you
Goodbye
I did not get to be there
When you took,
your final breath
For it was late at night
And I had already been,
Tucked into bed
For the night
Dad came home from there
From the hospital you see
With tears in his eyes
And he told us five kids
That our mom
Had died
Dad it said it was not painful
That you went peacefully
That you closed your eyes
And whispered
Goodbye
and love you
always
You told him to tell us kids
Before you passed away
That even though,
You would be gone
From our lives
In our hearts,
you would always
Stay
And you would,
walk with us
Along life’s
Way
You told him to tell us
Not to cry for long
We still had lives to live
We had to be strong
Still
I would like to have been
There to say a final goodbye
And wipe the tears
From your eyes
I’d liked to have,
Promised you
That I would try,
To be a big girl
And try
Not to cry
I would have like to have,
told you
Before you went away
That I will
Always
Try to be strong for daddy
Because I know,
he needs me too
And I promise I will help him
With my brother and sister’s
Too
Being second to the oldest
It is my job you see
To help dad with the little ones
It is a big responsibility
Mom I am older now
And you’ve been gone
A very long time
But I’d like for you to know
I am doing just fine
I helped dad
As I promised
I helped him with the kids
I tried not to cry
When you went away
But my tears
They fell anyway
I am now married
With a daughter
Of my own
And I tell her all about her
Grandma
The Angel
She never got the chance
To know
If I had one wish
It would be
That I would have been,
about to say
Goodbye to you
kiss you softly
On the cheek
And to tell you
That when I reach Heaven
Once again we shall meet
Then never again,
shall we part
Until then
I carry love for you
Deep inside
My heart
All star challenge
