In Loving Remembrance of
Neale S. (Mack) McGee
November 18, 1924 ~ August 8, 2005
If You Must Go
I'm selfish, so you know,
But I'll grin and bear the pain,
'Cause I know there is a reason
Though my heart can't say the same
It's thundering tonight - I envision it as you,
Announcing, loudly, far and yon
That your soul has been renewed
I'm sure that I'll still need you
So every now and then
I'll whisper you that message upon the rustling wind
I trust you'll send your love and help
You've never let me down
I'll gaze upon the heavens
And know that you're around
So go, my Father, with my love
And begin to pave the way
I'll love you from afar, for now, 'til we reunite some day.
