Goodbye
Teresa Veloz 1986 (Green Bay, WI)
What l wouldn't give
To have you next to me again...
To hug you one more time
And to have your hand in mine.
The sweetest lady
With the most gentle touch.
I hope you knew, Grandma
That l love you so much.
Fly high with the angels
Way up in the sky.
This is so hard for me
To have to say goodbye.
I know you're looking down
And watching me now.
I hope to see you again
Someday and somehow.
I'm trying to stay strong
But my eyes are filled with tears
Looking back at all our memories
Throughout these past years.
l love you, Grandma
From the bottom of my heart.
I know you're always with me
Even though we're now apart.
