Too Soon To Say Good-bye

When my heart has been bruised by sadness and I can't make sense of it all

I search within for comfort and peace as a stream of tears silently fall.

I relinquish the need for answers since the outcome it will not change;

I look at the design I thought was my life which I will now have to rearrange.

I cling tightly to what I believe is true as I dive deep within my soul

securing sweet memories of laughter and hugs to patch up the gaping hole..

I extend an invitation as the sun gently rises each day

asking for a sign from my loved one who has recently passed away.

A penny from heaven...a favorite song...a whisper in my ear...

playing a trick is even okay...just an assurance you remain near.

And as each day concludes, a visit in the darkness from you I seek...

a sweet scent...a cover tug...a soft kiss upon my cheek.

I promise you won't be forgotten though you soar with the angels on high.

We love you...we miss you...we'll see you one day...

but it was too soon to say good-bye.
