Church Bells Toll

Time for a sermon and a goodbye It’s a solemn day One to ponder upon On the meaning life brings To our doorstep is pain and suffering Some joys of moments shared But if it was going to be this soon We could have taken more time in life To live to the fullest Dance in the rain, take trips to unknown lands Make memories count each day And said the right words to many Church bells toll And I stand alone Wondering if its is you in the casket Shoulders droop, heart breaking I am not ready to say goodbye yet This is the time I think of our times together My brother, my friend, my Bishop I stand and stare Your casket, family and friends gathered My heart is empty and broken all at once Too soon to leave us Goodbye for now, till we meet again.
