Goodbye Dear Friend

To simplicity
hail to you a stress free day...
another friend falls
into intellect aims high
high as the sky—yes heaven.

Although it's hard to say goodbye to our friends, it does help to think of them in heaven, Harry. A lovely tanka. Have a very Merry Christmas. Peace and joy, Carolyn
