Do We Ever Really Say Goodbye

Memories stay as pictures with words in the mind. We may try to erase some, still we can’t rewind. Experiences become part of our intricate lives. Changes remain sweet as honey from bee hives. Feelings are formed in one way or another good or bad. Saying goodbye does not undo the times we have had. What is all this about ‘letting go’? As if we are not supposed to feel all that we know. Life is not to be sifted like flour, poured like cream, Tossed like a salad with veggies steamed. Life is to be honored in the treasure chest of our heart. We are exactly who we are, all experiences played a part. Heidi Sands 5/15/17

This is a beautiful poem, filled with imagery that adorn the words like a fresh fallen snow. The setting and the mood of this poem lends itself well to the subject matter of celebrating all aspects of our lives, each moment counts. The words fall gently from the page and collect snuggling together within the heart. Emile.

You are right my friend, all experiences play a part in who we are. We can say good bye all we want, but that will never change what has happened prior. Really nicely done Heidi.

Heaven is where we never have to say "goodbye." Memories pop up like fresh spring chutes, some welcome and sweet, and others all bristly. Lovely poem.
