Goodbye

Amanda Anne Smith
Pat Neff Middle School
San Antonio, TX


When you died,
People were sad and they cried.
When you were buried,
They said their last goodbyes.

You were shot in the head,
And suddenly you dropped down dead.
When I dream of you so near,
I wake up and you disappear.

The other members did survive,
Yet you're the one who had to die.
We may have had to say goodbye,
But in our hearts you're still alive.

Why did you leave us?
Why did you go?
Why did you leave us
to grieve in great sorrow?

Was it because your time was near?
Or just because of all your fears?
Don't you know you left us,
With forever flowing tears?

You never wanted to listen
Always going your own way.
Now you're up in heaven.
Which forever you will stay.

Even though you are gone,
We still have to move on.
You're watching every move we make,
Making sure the right path we take.

I guess you're still here in a way,
Because in our hearts you will stay
As we pray
Every night and day.
