They Did Not Have The Chance

They did not have the chance to even say We love you dear before she went away Into that World where human spirits go The place of which no mortal seems to know. They did not have the chance to say goodbye And tell her 'to us you were a source of joy' As she was healthy she had not been sick In human life things can happen so quick. The body for the soul is just a shell And is there an after life? then who can tell As there seems to be no way of finding out And those who claim they know still sow the seeds of doubt. They did not have the chance to say adieu And whisper to her words like we love you, They've got photographs and lock of her golden hair But young daughter they love is now elsewhere. Their laughing blue eyed girl has gone away 'She would have been fourteen on her next birthday' And the tear wells of their hearts have been shed dry And they did not have the chance to say goodbye.
