Goodbye

Saying goodbye is hard for me to do We had a lot of good times, me and you But I think It's time to say farewell However, in the end only time can tell You got me through some hard times You stopped me from committing crimes In all honesty I think I owe you my life You helped me deal with misery and strife You caused me notice beauty around me I'm indebted to you my dear, sweet Poetry Alexis Y 10-21-16

Poetry may not appeal to everyone but for those it does, I believe they are more in tune with life on this planet, the beauty and the ugliness. Nicely penned, Alexis:)

Hi Elieen, It means a lot to me that you feel this way. I'm not say goodbye to poetry or PS. You know as woman and poetes we tend to get emotional. I was feeling down earlier and this poem was born.I appreciate your concern my poetic friend: -) Alexis

I hope it's not goodbye Alexis!!!! -The final couplets gave me a lump in my throat I too see beauty around me and look at my surrounds and not take it for granted and can express it in my poetry... as for poetry saving me - how I can relate I don't think I would have got through the last 3 years if I hadn't started writing. I think you will find many can relate to your words:-) but no goodbyes!:-) hugs jan xx

Hi Jan, I'm not saying farewell to poetry or the soup. I'm just feeling sort of down.Poetry means so much and allows me to express my sad emotions. That's how this poem was born. Thanks for the soup mail it really cheered me up:-) Alexis
