I never knew

 I wrote this soon after my daughter went to heaven. I was remembering the last time I had saw her. 

I never knew Ⓒ Donna Rae Lands

I never knew it would be our last goodbyes...
I would never again... see the sparkle in your gorgeous eyes...
I gave you that super long hug and that last 'I love you"...
I never knew it would be the last time I would see you happy and anew...

I would never again... see the sparkle in your gorgeous eyes...
I never knew you would be that angel flying in heavenly October skies...
I never knew it would be the last time I would see you happy and anew...
We had too many planned tomorrows to see us through...

I never knew you would be that angel flying in heavenly October skies...
Within a flash and a moment’s notice, your body dies and your Spirit flies...
We had too many planned tomorrows to see us through...
Now, I have only memories locked away... in my heart of blue...

Within a flash and a moment’s notice your body dies and your spirit flies...
I gave you that super long hug and that last 'I love you'...
Now, I have only memories locked away... in my heart of blue...
I never knew it would be our last goodbyes...
