The Last Letter

The hardest thing I had to do? The day I said goodbye to you. We sat there and our words were few Yet in that moment I just knew, This is our last goodbye. You didn't cry it's not your style And you and I each wore a smile But both were thinking all the while You'll soon be there on high. I never thought my love could grow But being there it was just so. We'd sit and let our love just flow, Then came the day I had to go We said our last goodbye. Now daddy what you did not see Is how my heart broke inwardly? Those gentle words must comfort me You'll soon be there on high. 09.05.2014

We never know when our last time seeing or being with a person may come..It is always good to end every contact in a good state if at all possible..This is a good poem about this topic..Thanks for the visit to my page..I am still sore..My spine is telling the tale and I am having brief bouts of headaches..I guess that it will get better..Sara
