Missed Good-Byes

A poem dedicated to those who have passed in my life

To my great grandpa Ernie

Whom I never said good-bye

To my friend,

Just a kid,

Who left it all behind.

To my great grandmother Doris,

Whom I barely knew

I loved you all the same,

And I know you did too.

To my grandpa Dan,

The strongest man I know,

It’s time for you to go.

I wish it wasn’t happening,

I wish it wasn’t so,

There has to be an easier way

I know it’s in “I love you”.

So to those I never said good-bye,

To those who go too soon,

I know you’re in a better place,

And know that I miss you.
