She was seven when her family moved away…
She was sad…she didn’t know what to do
as she waved goodbye to all her friends
and the only home she ever knew.
Her parents said they have a nice new house
that she’d make new friends…
still she pined…
For how could she make new friends
when she left her heart behind?
They were married only 20 years
When his wife unexpectedly passed away…
He didn’t have time to say goodbye
To plead with her to stay…
Friends said he was still young
that he’d find another wife as gentle and as kind
but he knew that would be impossible
when he left his heart behind.
A loss of any kind is difficult…
when there is so much that we miss…
If there is anything we must remember…
we must remember this…
For anyone who experiences a loss
we must keep this in mind…
It’s never easy to move ahead
when you’ve left your heart behind.
So we must show them patience and love
For in their own time they will discover
That there is happiness ahead…
That their heart can and will recover.
