I'Ll Miss You

My friends, I must be leaving
Sorry, but I have to go
Vacation, now, is calling me
My family needs me so

I will continue writing
So then upon return
I’ll let you read my poetry
And all that I have learned

I know I’ll miss all of you
Yes, each and every one
For reading all your poetry
Provides each day with fun

I hope you aren’t saddened now
You, who I depend upon
My friends, I need to know one thing
Will you miss me while I’m gone?

Michael...although I hope you have a truly wonderful vacation....yes...we will miss you. I need you to catch me when I fall...when I don't count my Cinquain syllables quite right!!! :} I love reading your poetry each day, they brighten our spirits. Like you, whenever I'm away, I can hardly wait until I'm back to see what's been happening!! Don't stay away too long, but enjoy every minute you are away. Perhaps this break will give you even more inspiration for future poems. Love, Carrie
