This Is Not Good-bye
As you close your eyes
And your last breath is gone
In the many lives you’ve touched
Your love light lives on
Yes, there will be a void
Where you used to be
But I know it’s you
In the sunrise I now see
Your spirit ever brighter
Your touch all the more you
You’re in the depths of my heart
Even the sunset shines of you too
In time I will adjust
To knowing life this way
I know God has called you home
As I cherish all your yesterdays
I’ll always remember
The love light in your eye
We’ll see each other again
This is not good-bye
