Funeral Poem

Goodbyes Are Often Hard To Say

This was written after a beloved uncle had passed. I sometimes get uncomfortable expressing my emotions with words. When things touch me deeply and I need to express my emotions, I write. Sometimes it comes out well and people close to me receive it as it is intended. This was used as a memorial on our family reunion booklet.

Goodbye

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2010 with permission of the Author.

In our minds we always knew
this time would come to pass.
But knowing it and living it,
has come and gone so fast.

Goodbyes are often hard to say;
they hurt so very much.
You're not gone,
you still remain
in the minds, hearts, and lives you've touched.
