to say good-bye.
Never got the chance
to whisper butterflies.
Never got the chance
to brush away the cry.
Never got the chance
to be there when you died.
Never got the chance
to watch you fly.
Never got the chance
for one more morning hi.
Never got the chance
for a french braid try.
Never got the chance
to be there as you died.
Never got the chance
to see you two in life.
Never got the chance
to right a lie.
Never got the chance
to show you...
you were mine.
Never got the chance
to be there when you died.
Never got the chance
to show you all the bright.
Never got the chance
to really believe the sight.
Never got the chance
to hold you with all my might.
Never got the chance
to be there when you died.
Never got the chance
to hear your one last sigh.
Never got the chance
to teach you that fair is not always right.
Never got the chance
to show you love every night.
Never got the chance
to be there when you died.
Never got the chance
to tell you not to forget.
Never got the chance
to say no, not yet!
Never got the chance
to wish away regret.
Never got the chance
to hold you when you died.
Never got the chance
to pay your debt.
Never got the chance
to worship what was lent.
Never got the chance
to trust you had been sent.
Never got the chance
to have you hold me as you died.
Never got the chance.....
Never got the chance.....
Never got the chance.....

WOWZER!! This is very emotional to say the least!!
Something we can never right is always so sad and frustrating.But for the chance to be taken by way of death is shattering in so many ways.I pray you find peace.

It brings to mind this poem is true
You'll always owe when life is through
If start today to speak your mind
If someone dies, you'll be behind...
