We Shall Say Hello Again

[76vinicius]

We say goodbye to you
Though we have barely met
And we have cried for you
Though we cannot see you, yet
In this dark and cruel world
We hold fast to love that's true
And now, dear child
We send our love to you

For a moment you were here
But oh that moment was so real
And I thank you now
That you have made me feel
A need to know
Those I claim to love the most
I push them all away
Don't let them get too close

Those people that we love
How long will they stay
When will they go away
I pray it's not today
You were here with me
But then you had to go
And now I miss you so
Oh we miss you so

So goodbye dear friend
We shall say hello again
I know we shall
Though I can't say just when
And when we meet
I'll see the twinkle in your eye
I'll know you are
The one who said goodbye
On that dark and stormy night
Or was the storm just in my heart
But this time, dear child
I know we'll never part

Those people that we love
How long will they stay
When will they go away
I pray it's not today
You were here with me
But then you had to go
Soon we shall say Hello
My child I love you so

I'm not sure what the proper procedure is here. But I had to say I was blessed by your poem. It is full of loss and sorrow, but also hope.

I ditto Elona's comments. Very heartfelt sentiments. Thank you for sharing this. !thumbsup!

i'm glad it was a blessing. i never met the child, but he was my friends nephew. just knowing his grief led us all to mourn with him. still, we have hope in our Savior. that's what keeps us going.

Amen. It's especially poignant when a child dies. How wonderful that you all could mourn together. That's what helps us get through grief. And God!
