Saying Goodbye
By: BBF

I lay in a hospital bed, waving goodbye,
I drift away like a breath or a sigh.
Opening my eyes, I find clouds and open sky.
My Earthly bonds unraveled and untied.

Looking up more things do I see,
People, faces, an inhuman sea.
Plants, animals, there are even trees.
In an instant I wonder, where can I be?

A kind man with an honest face,
Guides me to a different place.
As we leave, others follow without a trace.
Into a bright room with a dark wooden case.

I open to find my life in its hold.
In a moment, they turned to gold.
They are not hidden, nor will they be sold.
Some of them reached back to a time so old.

The kind man looked at me and smiled.
When around him, I felt close to a child.
His spirit was warm, gentle, and mild.
I felt myself become beguiled.

Looking back on life, I found no regrets;
Not a single worry, not even a fret.
There was nothing but kindness, not a threat.
I found my cheeks to be wet,
Wondering of my friends and their unpaid debt.

Why'd he leave me? Will I ever know?
He was like life itself, he knew how to change and grow.
Oh how I miss him so!
I wish I could follow to where he did go.

I was young and afraid, he was strong and quiet.
We ended up laughing, we were such a riot!
Now he is gone, there is no way to fight it.

If you could, would you speak to me?
Would you brake the bonds, come back free?
Sit down and have some coffee?
Would you still be Bert's Ernie?

There's no way for me to lie.
I couldn't, even if I tried.
So I can only give you this advice:
Stay with me, I don't want to say goodbye.

I knew someday, I'd fill someone's shoes. But a voice?
I guess I didn't think I'd be their choice.
It's a big job, your Muppet I must hoist.
When I think of you, my eyes grow moist.

Do you think of us, all of us at all?
Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall?
If I had a holy telephone, you know I would call.
I still keep your picture, it's outside on my wall.

Kermit misses you, in fact we all do.
Do us a favor and come visit us soon?
We'll be waiting, just like we always do.
Because in our hearts, we always have remained true to you
Goodbye, Jim.

[bouncingbabyfig]

Thanks, did it apply to what you were thinking of when you asked me to write it Colleen?

 

[Collgoff]

You ask us for ideas when you had the writers block, by the way my name has 2 e's in it.
