When we lose someone we love
It seems that time stands still.
What moves through us is a silence
A quiet sadness
One more word
One more touch
We may not understand why
You left this earth so soon,
Or why you left before we were
Ready to say good-bye,
But little by little.
We begin to remember
Not just that you died,
But that you lived.
And that your life gave us memories
Too beautiful to forget.
We will see you again some day,
In a heavenly place where
There is no parting
A place where there are
No words that mean good-bye.
