She was in the mall…he was playing ball
when they got the call…they were both appalled…
And they were left disheartened wondering why.
He was in a different state…she’d been running late…
They’ll always remember the date…when they were damaged by fate…
For they never had the chance to say goodbye.
Every day in sun or rain…someone, somewhere dies in vain
and we feel the pain…those of us who remain.
As we are left dumbfounded wondering why.
Why did he die…why did she die
and we let out a sigh as tears fill our eyes.
Because we never had the chance to say goodbye.
Life does not last…and the end can come fast
when their destiny’s cast…they become part of our past
And we are left saddened and wondering why.
Why on this day…did they go away?
Didn’t we pray?…Why couldn’t they stay.?
Why didn’t we have the chance to say goodbye
Perhaps the best we can do…this has to be true!
is always bid adieu...paired with I Love You.
So we’ll never again wonder why…
And we’ll know come what may…at the end of the day…
love will not go away…love is with us to stay…
Because we never did not say goodbye.
That’s one of the good things about ALS. My husband was given 2-5 years to live. He lived 7. We had 7 years to appreciate him and each other. 7 years to say goodbye
