Goodbye My Family Poem Verses
Goodbye my family, my life is past.
I loved you all to the very last,
Weep not for me, but courage take,
Love each other for my sake,
For those you love don’t go away,
They walk beside you every day.
I loved you all to the very last,
Weep not for me, but courage take,
Love each other for my sake,
For those you love don’t go away,
They walk beside you every day.
