The Last Time I Said Goodbye

I didn’t realize it was the last time I’d say goodbye

That fate would take you away 

And I’d be left wondering why

I didn’t hug you longer 

I’d pay any price 

To go back to that moment 

You needn’t ask twice 

But I know that I can’t 

Even if I plead with the gods 

And beg them to grant me 

Just one more chance 

To turn back the clock 

And in advance of your death 

Say I love you 

With my very breath 

But there is no more time 

So instead I’ll pray 

That til your last day 

You just knew 

And I’ll carry you with me 

Wherever I go 

From the depths of the valleys

To the winters of snow 

Though my grief begins to fade to black 

As I work through our life and start to unpack 

The memories with which I cherished 

Will only grow stronger 

For I’ll never forget what it felt to be 

Living life with you 

As your granddaughter
