“All human life has its seasons, and no one’s personal chaos can be permanent: winter, after all does not last forever does it? There is summer, too, and spring, and though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, that summer, but they do, and always." T.Capote

I Never Got to Say Goodbye
Bathrobe is still hanging on the door Dirty socks still lying on the floor Hairbrush sits beneath the mirror’s frame Strange to think the fingerprints remain
In an instant, life is not the same The smile, the voice we never can reclaim So unfair, so much more life to live So hard to go on, much less forgive
I never got to say good-bye Despite how many tears I cry All I want to know is why I never got to say good-bye
If there’s a God in Heaven, please let them know I never dreamed they’d have to go Sometimes it’s more that I can bear To stay here when they’re up there
Please tell them that I love them so And it’s so hard to let them go I still wish as days go by I’d had the chance to say good-bye
I never got to say good-bye Despite how many tears I cry All I want to know is why I never got to say good-bye
