How important is it to be able
To say "goodbye" at the table
Rather than at the funeral service
Too late to want to make amends
Too late to say "I love you" then
They sleep the long sleep; ken?
They are gone from us by and by
Slowly slipping away; by degrees
Until finally they take their last breath
Asleep in the Lord to take their rest
We who are left behind must grieve
We must cry our tears; feel bereaved
Only memories will remain amid the pain
Only good thoughts need to be entertained
Of sunny days and laughter; in the hereafter
I would hope to meet up once again...
