We Say Goodbye, Trusting Love


Today we said goodbye to you too soon
We were not ready to let you go
You came to us less than a year ago
And touched our hearts forever

We will miss your wisdom, your playful humor, your kindness
There was such intelligence behind those deep brown eyes
You lived a life of spiritual adventures
While becoming a medical miracle more than once
You met your life’s love and trusted love always
Then modeled it for all your world to see
You reached out in compassion and gave yourself freely
Although your body was often in such pain

Your passion drove our little team along
And now your absence leaves a giant hole
Today I heard you’d said one simply must be willing
So I’ll take your advice and try to carry on
Although you cannot ever be replaced
We’ll gather together and reach out in love
The holes in our hearts will gradually heal
But you will never be forgotten, my friend
