Never Goodbye

Some twist of fate
Has taken you away
Farther than I can reach
Forever and a day

You had so much to offer
And gave it freely with a smile
Your blooming cut short by bitterest winter
And even then you were like a beautiful rose
Surrounded by mediocre flowers

I'll think of you always
Though I will cry
I promise in the halls of my heart
Your song with echo for all time

Though the moon still rises
And the stars still shine
And the nightingale sings her song
It feels incomplete
And never will be a whole
that I will accept

So I will bid you Farewell
but never Goodbye
Wishing you well
as you start anew
In a place beyond mortal view
