We do not say goodbye,
The tears we cry are really not for you.
We are the lonely, sad, forlorn
For when you died a part of us dies too.
It is for us the living to endure
The aching pain your passing left behind;
Your happiness is finally secure,
You have the peace that none of us can find.
The reason you were chosen can't be known.
We would have kept you longer if we could,
But God called you unto His very own,
He surely must have thought that you were good,
While missing you will make life incomplete,
The memory of your presence will not die,
And since some happy day again we'll meet,
As you proceed we do not say goodbye.
