Our Final Goodbyes
It was after nine on Friday
when Mom called to tell me
that your time had come; you slipped away.
I thought she was lying; it just couldn’t be.
It took a moment for the news to sink in;
I couldn’t believe you’d gone to Heaven.
I prayed it was nothing but a nightmare,
but reality sank in and I became aware.
I let out a cry of sorrow,
Uncle Ed I miss you today,
and I’ll miss you tomorrow
I wish you didn’t have to go away.
But He decided it was your time to go
the reason why I’ll never know,
but even now miles apart
I’ll keep you close here in my heart.
As we gather today to say our final goodbyes
I’ll let the tears fall from my eyes
for how do I say goodbye to a man I loved so
when I’m just not ready to let go.

Thank you to both of you. This was actually something I wrote as a type of Eulogy for his funeral. He loved my poetry and I decided dedicating one to him was the best way for me to honour him. So glad you guys liked it :)
