As I Bid you Farewell
for my grandmother who passed away
(for viewing purposes only...want to use it on a layout or something? tell me)
As I bid you farewell,
Tears of mine could tell
The gloom I?ve been keeping inside
Farewell made me remember
This bold feeling oh so somber
It made my mixed emotions collide
I felt your warmth, so real
Happiness, it was what you made me feel
When I was there by your side
Now I felt the coldness
And heard the loudness
While I, in sadness, slowly cried
Now I should wipe my tears
But I couldn?t, after all those years
You made me try, and, yes, I tried
To reach for my goals
To maintain all my roles
While I was there by your side
Now, I should say
Pardon me if you may
I would like to confide
In you all these thoughts
All the dreams that I?ve sought
Rising up like the tides
As I look up to you
You?ve made me blue
And now you?ve left me, I sighed
Now it is quite clear
You are needed there, oh dear
And now I mustn?t hide
High up there, above,
The stars twinkle with so much love
In the Heavens where you now reside
For it is what He has planned
Like air to water, sand to sand
We kiss the hand of the one who guides
Our time and fate
Never so early, never so late
For it is only He who must decide
For in everything, there is a reason
In rhymes of truth and stabs of treason
This life we are in is truly pied
These are what I really feel
This time is best that I reveal
My thoughts of you now open wide
And as I bid you farewell,
I?ve told you what I need to tell
With so much feelings and pride
