I Didn'T Get A Chance To Say Good Bye Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

Hello, Goodnight
Just wanted you to know
I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.
AMAZINGLY, I did get a chance to kiss your cheeks,
touch your hands and tickle your feet
Made you laugh, didn't I?
I didn't get a chance to tell you
I would keep all your dreams alive,
and keep your name in those, bright lights.
I didn't get a chance to hear you say,
I am in pain, but give me one last night
Lord!
I didn't even hear you say,
My journey is done, I am tired now,
let me rest in peace,
But I got a chance to hear you hum
your favorite christian song,
lift your hand
and feel God's presence.
Share a smile because you felt your family's love
A Godly presence surrounding you.
I had no chance to say goodbye
the very next day,
but peace be still
thou woud be done.
The day before, you said,
I love you, daughter, wife and son
you fell asleep
last spoken words.
Words that fed my soul.
No chance to say goodbye
But
Rest now, rest In peace, my darling,
Goodnite,

Dedicated to my Mom and Brother Aaron
