A thousand goodbyes in a lifetime

From start to finish

With conversations concluded

And into the evening winds

A thousand goodbyes goes by

Quicker than a life can be lived

But when there is no more goodbyes

The heart longs for the one

A father

A man who inspired my own life of living

To him a great restlessness will be given

From my sleepless hours

To say goodbye to

So know that with every goodbye

A piece of my heart will lie

In rest with those lingering words

From my lips and into infinity

Where someday

We will meet again

Goodbye
