NO GOODBYES
There’s Nothing I Can Say, There’s Nothing I Can Do, To Bring You Back To Me, Only Prayer Will See Me Through,
I’ve Cried My Tears In Grief, I’ve Taken The Time To Mourn, Now, “I Celebrate Your New Life!”, As An Angel Has Been Born,
Make Sure You “Say Hello For Me”, To Family Who Crossed Over Before You, Grandma Ruby, Unc. Albert, Aunt Ethel & My Dad, & Everyone Else That I’m Close To,
It’s Not Easy Let’n Go Of You Physically, Still Hard To Believe You’re Not Here, It’s All About The Memories Now & Love Shared, That Will Heal & Allow Us To Persevere,
As I Lay Still At Night & Think Of You, & Thoughts Go Racing Through My Mind, I Am Comforted Knowing You Are In God’s Hands, So “No Goodbyes…Only See Ya Later In Time!”
We Love You Momma! We Know You’ll Keep Watch Over Us!
(Charlotte, Children, Grandkids & Fam)
