Goodbye James

The bagpipes were playing for James It was our way of saying goodbye Family and friends were gathered And many folks needed to cry His wife was given the flag James was a veteran, you know Her heart was filled with sorrow For she loves her husband so Family gathered for the custom Of sharing a meal afterward It’s a time to spend together Passing on memories unheard And then came a new engagement For you see, time continues to march on A fresh loving couple emerges For they too, have a love that is strong The smell of fried chicken tells us We have to continue to eat So everyone fills their plates Yes, a tradition once again we repeat And of course tomorrow will come Everyday life will continue We whisper our thoughts up to heaven James, we will always love you!
