Saying Goodbye

When someone we love dies all we can do is cry
We plead to god to give them back,
We lay awake at night and ask why
In the morning we are told the memories we lack.

We pray he gave them wings
We realize he took away all their sorrow
If we listen closely we can hear the songs they sing
Then we feel better tomorrow

However some still feel the pain
They don't realize
The spirit of the one they love will always remain
The contract that god and the dearly departed made for the death date was already finalized
There is nothing we can do or say
We can only try to comfort those left behind today
