We Do N ot Say Goodbye 
We do not say good-bye who come to mourn, The tears we cry are really notfo r you. We are the lonely, we are sad, forlorn For when you died a part o f us died too. It is fo r us the living to endure 
The aching pain your passing left behind; Your happiness is finally secure, 
You have the peace which none o f us can find. The reason you were chosen can't be known. We would have kept you longer i f we could, 
But G od called you unto His very own, He surely must have thought that you were good, 
While missing you will make life incomplete, The memory o f your presence will not die, And since some happy day again we'll meet, As you proceed we do not say good-bye.
