Time to say goodbye

Standing here in front of all of you,
devastated and lost,
Can only mean my bad dream is true
and that we all share a great loss

I thought of a million
things to tell you,
On this awfully sad day
But this poem will have to do
It’s my goodbye, my way

My love your smile lit
up the darkest place
And everywhere you went
You always had that kind of grace
And an outfit for every event

Always telling me stories,
you probably told me before
What I would give up now,
to hear them be told once more

You said to always be proud
of what I am today
And I promise you I will
each and everyday

I love you,
were our last words
and that makes me less said
I will always remember
the great times we had

Here I am in front of you
my friend, my guide, my mum,
There is a time to say goodbye
and that time has come.
