Never had a chance to say goodbye.
They'll wake up this morning
like days in the past,
prepare for the day, not a word
will be said.
The children awaken
and are hurried along,
no time will be taken
to say what is wrong.
Mom and Dad leave for work
and go seperate ways,
one will not return
at the end of the day.
One has came home and
the children are there,
a simple I love you,
may have cleared the air.
Saying I'm sorry
or I love you instead,
may have been easier
now it can't be said.
So wake up each morning
and atleast say Hi,
the people you love need to hear it,
or atleast a goodbye.
Dying so sudden within
in the blink of an eye,
Means, I never took the chance
to say it,
I love you, Goodbye!
