When You've Gone Away

When You've Gone Away

by Bud Lemire on Mar 24, 2007

What makes a person get up and go

From the people and places that took a lifetime to know

What could have caused such a thing to be

I guess for those outside the circle, it’ll remain a mystery

Yet still I wonder and I silently ask why

Two decades without contact, did he even try?

Now both his parents are passed

The stones have already been cast

Was it a family feud?

Was someone unfair and rude?

Life is too short to just walk away

Were you at a loss of words to say

I know your Father and Mother are watching over you

And they know everything you say and do

I’m sure they understand why you had to leave

And they’ve been informed of the life you weave

Despite any conflicts upon this earthly plane

They’ll help to guide, by your side they’ll remain

For the bond you had, will always stay

Even in distance, When You’ve Gone Away
