His was a long and happy life…and though they knew the reason why
his family could not stop their tears…when it came his time to die.
They talk of the life he lived…sharing memories of all his years…
Each memory bringing a smile to their faces…each smile escorted by tears.
Their days became filled with darkness…as in their lives a sad wind blew…
their sadness clinging to everything…dripping…like morning dew…
But time flows on like water and eventually they learn
though the sadness they feel will never end…
their smiles will return
And they take solace knowing how lucky they were
to have felt sad enough to cry…
lucky to have had someone in their life…
who made it so hard to say goodbye.
