The final goodbye

today, i am aching

another beautiful life has been taken

the phone rang, it was death calling

i froze, there was no talking

but i am not sad, instead i am filled with anger

i am screaming “why?” and receive no answer

i just want the world to stop turning for a minute

to process and let this hit

i just need a second to breathe…

for a moment to grieve

a family has now been broken

a precious life has again been stolen

the almighty should have powers

to grant heaven with visiting hours

because you never know when will be the last goodbye

before they get taken to the sky

i will always cherish our time together

hoping that this is not goodbye forever

you have a place in my heart that i will always hold

sleep well. you really were a special soul

this will be the final goodbye

a new beautiful star now belonging to the sky
