Debbie Duncan Poet Verse

I'Ll Say Good - By

I'll say good - by now
 It's been wonderful
 Knowing you.

 As I sit and think of us.
 And the memories of 
 having you close to me.

 Watching you while you sleep
 Touching your warm body
 Laying mine next to yours.

Going through the years with you
 Knowing you would be there
 Now it's time for us to part.

I'll say good - by now.

Duke Beaufort April 17, 2013 at 6:55 PM Even though there was all the good stuff, there must have been a lot of pain inflicted to bring you to this point. Somehow, you sum up the sadness and loss you feel even though you did the right thing. You capture the toughness of the decision in a special way. Debbie Duncan April 17, 2013 at 9:15 PM ;}

Lucilla Carrillo April 17, 2013 at 6:01 PM A very nice farewell poem. For a minute there I thought you were leaving us. Thank God you are not. Lucilla Debbie Duncan April 17, 2013 at 9:53 PM thank you ;}
