You never said I’m leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knew why.
A million times We needed you,
A million times We cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life We loved you dearly,
In death We love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill.
It broke our heart to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
There are so many memories Bruce that are with me forever. You were like a brother to me in so many ways. I wish I knew you were hurting so bad so that I may have been able to help. You are loved more than you really know .
Good byes are not forever,
Goodbyes are not the end,
They simply mean I’ll miss you,
Until we meet again.
I love very much Bruce watch and guide us all in safety and show us your ways.
Love you forever.
