As I sat by my window, Looking out at the grey sky, Tears rolled down my cheeks, As it’s finally time to say goodbye. Goodbye to a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Who was always there, Goodbye to a familyWho always showed care, Someone whom I turn to, I don’t know how to move on. Someone whom I relate to, But now you’re gone. But then a bluebird came, And sat by my window. The sun starts shining, And evaporated all my sorrow. Good memories came, To wash away the sadness. Mended my heart and filled it with gladness. I wiped away my tears, And now that you’re gone, I can’t give up now I have to move on.
