The Bravest Thing

Today you did the bravest thing,
today you set me free.
Thank you for showing me
the ultimate dignity.
I am sorry that my leaving
has broken your kind heart.
But we both knew this day would come;
the day we had to part.
Don't think that I did not hear
every last word that you said.
Don't think I did not feel
your trembling hand touch my head.
Today you did the bravest thing,
today you set me free.
Thank you for a wonderful life.
Thank you for loving me.
