Goodbyes
Goodbye is hard to say when one knows they on earth won't
see each other again
A farewell not enjoyed
Words we like not to hear
But "Goodbye" I must say
A goodbye we must say
Our friendship here must end
Part we must, wipe our tears
Goodbye now, Heaven waits

We have sadnes for a friend who just died. "Bill" is thirteen years younger than me and leaves a wife his age. Plus kids and grandkids as we.

Condolences on the loss of your friend. Your poem is beautiful. In 2019, at different times, I lost two dear friends much younger than me, both of whom were like family. I'm glad, though, that our poetic family can still find places to meet online.
ReplyDeleteGoodbyes always seem to take a piece of our heart (and a bucket of tears) with them. But we can hold on to the memories (and to the archive).
ReplyDeleteGoodbyes are always tough for me. Memories become the blossoms with gather into bouquets.
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry for your loss.
