We never got to say goodbye,
For that I’ll always cry.
Here one day, gone the next
I never thought you’d die.
You never got to walk with me,
Down the aisle of marriage.
You didn’t meet your son in law
Or ride in the wedding carriage.
I never got to say to you
Quite why I loved you Dad.
You made me laugh with silliness
Even though you drove me mad.
You never got to see me now
A mother and a wife.
I know you’d be so happy
If you could see my precious life.
Whilst you will never breathe again,
Your heart in me lives on.
A part of me you’ll always be,
Never truly gone.
