Analysis of No Time To Say Goodbye
Crystal Ramjit 1979
Another year you would have been today,
Had you not been taken away.
But who can say "No," I reckon,
When the master beckons.
In some case you are the lucky one,
Since your race is already run.
The pain you felt is unimaginable,
But knowing it was briefly, is consolable.
My heart is heavy with sadness,
But good memories are left to reminisce.
Though you said not to thank you,
My brother I thank you, miss you and love you.
