Nancy Reagan Poem = You Never Said Goodbye? Poem by Tom Zart

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

In life I loved you completely
In death I love you still.
In my heart I hold a place
That only you can fill.

It broke my heart to lose you
But I know you're not alone.
A part of me left with you
On the day God called you home.

Tears are the raindrops of the soul
And there's one for all who die.
They are the silent words of grief
As they fall free from the eye.

The shortest verse in the Bible
Is the one where Jesus wept
So, if you hold back tears, shed them
When your pain is too harsh to accept.

Tears are lovelier than a smile
When they come from those you love
As they seek relief from sadness
When you're summoned from above.

Tears are a love-mates humble gift
When it's time to say goodbye
Though the eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.
