Goodbyes
Saying Goodbye by Rodgers Ja Brown
1
I once knew how to taste
I once knew how to smell
I once knew what intimacy was
2
I miss the taste of rain on my lips
I miss the smells of being close with my partner
I miss the smell of the pines and the ocean
I miss the act of being with my partner
3
I said goodbye to these things because
They were taken away from me by just
Living in this world.
4
Surgery took my smell and taste,
The war’s accident to the closeness of my partner
So what do I do
5
I said hello to sacredness to the wonderful
newness of life ahead and hello to
When one door closes the Lord opens another
6
I find I need the Lord more
I read the scriptures more
I say hello to Jesus Christ and
Ask Him to walk with me now.
7
He shows me a new way in my life
Can I ever be blessed with more than this?
I have learned to cherish all these things.
