MY MESSAGE TO YOU (sample of one poem to say goodbye)
“Thanks for giving to all who you knew”
If there is one message to write in the sky
It would be to give thanks having known you
Thanks for how you lived on this earth
Thanks for giving to all who you knew
If there was one word to say how I feel
It would be impossible to pick just one
There are too many needed to say
To praise all you have done
If there was one song to sing in your name
It would be written in the form of an ode…
