Goodbye

Our paths did cross and that journey we took

The scenic route along the whispering brook

We stopped to smell the roses bloom

And see the birds with colored plumes

 

Life hast not spoken a life so serene

To compare with this journey so it may seem

But to every beginning there comes an end

So I must say goodbye to you my friend

 

We gelled, we chilled, we’d hang out a lot

Remember when I’d play with your spot

But alas my friend these things must stop

For seasons change, that I can not stop

 

I can not say that I will see you later

Nor would it be right to hang around for a while

So… see you later alligator

You reply after a while crocodile

 

It’s best we part on amicable ways

Then to progress for more disappointing days

A new path such a delectable thought

To go back down the path a reason I have not

 

So I take my charge and I carry my satchel

With good tidings to the next castle

Bringing with me a cheerful smile

An open mind, and a heart without guile

 

We have come to this fork in the road

And the path I choose you can not go

Ask for guidance and for Him to order your steps

Calling to Him is your best bet

 

So with that said, I tilt my hat to you madam

I wish you all the good days I can fathom

To every dark cloud there is a silver lining

So wipe your tears my child and start climbing

 

You shall come to find what’s right for you

The feelings of blue will be gone from you

As we part and go our separate paths

We didn’t work out but our friendship can last
