They Never Leave

They Never Leave

by Bud Lemire on July 11, 2003

They left this world, and everyone cried

Where have they gone, have they died?

"No!" cried James, they aren't dead I know

"They live in the place, where the Angels go"

Why have they left us, why do we weep?

Is it because of promises we didn't keep?

"Not at all," said James, "they feel your pain"

"They're always with you, in your heart they remain"

Why can't I see them, are they really here?

And what is the reason, I feel all this fear?

"Loss of physical touch and guidance, is what you miss"

"Open up to the spirit, and share in their bliss"

Was it their time to go, and their time to die?

I didn't even get a chance, for a proper goodbye

"Their life is eternal, and always with you is their love"

"They forgive and they know, all that you're thinking of"

I really miss them, tell me what can I do?

And in my life, how will I ever get through?

"Remember, have faith, and always believe"

"Their spirits surround us, they never leave"
