Time To Say Goodbye
Today I will brave my emotions and the horror of clothing to spend just one last chance with my friend’s body. I know that it is only a shell and that his soul has long left but like a picture of memories, his body will bring the nostalgia of many years together and closure that he no longer is. Today I will see him for the last as he lies resting. Farewell my Prime Minister, the Honorable David John Howard Thompson.

Time To Say Goodbye The body of my friend will be at Combermere I will go to view him while he lays there Many others too will come to say their final goodbyes Every old scholar in shades to cover red, swollen eyes Take his soul Lord and leave these frail remains Our sorrow has left a trail of teardrop stains Showing the path to where his body will reside A sanctuary we will hold sacred for all far and wide Your faithful servant while he was here Gave his all to all and quelled your people’s fear Our lives are the better to have known this great Our tears fall profusely but his life we celebrate Dear Lord our leader, love one, confidant and friend Bravely battled his enemy right to the very end You were there Lord with him, you knew he needed to try Embrace his soul for eternity as we take Time To Say Good-bye |
