When You Leave Your Heart Behind

She was seven when her family moved away… She was sad…she didn't know what to do as she waved goodbye to all her friends and the only home she ever knew. Her parents said they have a nice new house that she'd make new friends… still she pined… For how could she make new friends when she left her heart behind? They were married only 20 years When his wife unexpectedly passed away… He didn't have time to say goodbye To plead with her to stay… Friends said he was still young that he'd find another wife as gentle and as kind but he knew that would be impossible when he left his heart behind. A loss of any kind is difficult… when there is so much that we miss… If there is anything we must remember… we must remember this… For anyone who experiences a loss we must keep this in mind… It's never easy to move ahead when you've left your heart behind. So we must show them patience and love For in their own time they will discover That there is happiness ahead… That their heart can and will recover.
