I found this poem in an obituary, I think it's a beautiful way to say goodbye:
Good Night, Good Night
As we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight
In the days
That are no more
And shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken Thy
Love and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer
As one stays
To cover up the embers
That still burn.
Good Night, Good Night
As we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight
In the days
That are no more
And shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken Thy
Love and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer
As one stays
To cover up the embers
That still burn.
