Analysis of Good-bye



Tears of pain and tears of sarrow,

tears for a life that has no tomarrow.

Wipe the tears from your face,

she's now in a better place.

And just as a tear is joined by friends,

so was she, it's not the end.

You'll see her in your memory,

laughing, maybe yelling too.

And you'll know she left you to survive the flood

from the tears that flow, since she went above.
