Goodbye to Yesterday
Wanda Wade
It happened so suddenly
And I'm left confused
Dazed, alone, not knowing what to do
It was just yesterday that I heard the news
So devastated that my whole world turned blue
My heart, my mind, seem so out of place
The thought of you being gone is one I try to erase
Well wishers alike all say the same
That time one day will heal the pain
Until then what am I to do?
Kick, scream, cry and shout?
Hoping that someone will let me out
Of a dream far too sad to be true
But knowing that it's real
Breaks my heart in two
The memories flood my mind one by one
Oh daddy, how my life has become undone
Still I'll try to move ahead
Comforted by the thought of the amazing life you led
Your love for me is one that I'll cherish
Just knowing will cause me not to perish
Saying goodbye to yesterday has proven to be
A skill that requires much mastery
Yet comfort and peace are all around
To heaven now your soul is bound
I'll love you til the day I die
At which time my tears will finally dry
Well written and heartfelt.
