This is not the kinda goodbye
That means forever and makes you cry.
Rather it means, see ya later and until then
In a better life we will meet again.
Please remember us as we will always remember you
In all of life's little things, what we say and what we do.
So TaTa, see ya later, adiós, so long
In Gods arms you now may rest
Through you both we will always be strong.
P.S. While your up there please do something about those Pirates.
