EILEEN

How does one say goodbye; or is it just farewell,
When it is for a friend it is very hard to tell.
For though it ends not love nor everlasting thought,
It leaves an empty place in ones hearts resort,
Where only flowers grow that have purer hearts,
And souls encased in love from which it ne’er departs.
I love you so Eileen… like a seagull loves the sea,
For you my friend have been an inspiration to me,
God bless you love, God bless your man,
God bless the folk you love,
For since your time with us began,
We’ve been blessed from up above,
And now I’ve said all I can,
Which is surely not enough.
