Before Leaving....

The time has come We must now leave for distant lands Only a few minutes for gentle words and farewells There are no words which can express what is in my soul The hour of parting has arrived Don't cry we'll see each other again In a better land Under a sun, moon and stars which will glow brightly above No need to shed tears If we keep ourselves together We will be well prepared for the time when we must part company The ship will arrive soon let yourself see the truth in my words Our eyes meet Our hands clasp We will "keep the faith" - I'm sure of it In the distance lies our destination The safe harbor from the storm We'll meet there in the end But for now "Good - Bye"

Reminds me of the end of Return of the King. So beautiful, but I cry like a baby. Nicely written Matthew. Love, Shar
