Goodbye

Everyones here....its almost time....
We've gathered together to bid you goodbye..
In this room the closet family is gathered
To comfort each others hearts that have shattered

All the pues are filled with family and friends
They've made it to see you to the very end..
Each one you touched in some special way
They wouldn't miss seeing you on the last day

Everyone will say their goodbyes
With so many tears and so many cries
Everyone will ask "are you ok"?
What I really want is for you to go away

They'll show pictures and play songs
And tell funny stories of things you did wrong
This is the hard part because no one is talking
The silence is here is oh so haunting

Now that its over and we've laid you to rest
Everyone can share stories that are the best
Now theres laughters and smiles all here
Even in death there is also some cheer

Now weve gone home, it isn't the same
I wish you would say let's play a game..
Cards it would be, the only one you play
I know We'll get another chance someday
