"Didn't Have Time To Say Goodbye" by Bob Atkinson

"Didn't Have Time To Say Goodbye"  
(c)2008 Bob Atkinson

brushed her hair in the morning light
looked into the mirror
smiled at the way it was cut this time
Louise was a keeper

a party yesterday

a field trip today

to see the flowers in spring bloom

on a bright, sunlit day

didn't have time to say goodbye
didn't have a reason to call and cry
just sat in the chair and didn't move

razor cleaned his face of stubble
left shoe lace gave him some trouble
started the car as he'd always done
then something strange went through his mind

he wouldn't have time to say goodbye
didn't have a reason to call and cry
just sat in the seat and didn't move

so many loved their sweet ways
so many gifts they always gave
so many hugs sincerely tight
they didn't have time to say goodbye

didn't have a reason to call and cry
just sat there and didn't move
