My Last Goodbye

As i drive up,my hands are shaking
My heart is racing,its getting hard to breathe
What will i say,the fear fills my mind
Blood is rushing thru my veins
Here come my demons,Please someone
Take me away,so i can sit and pray

As i turn to walk away
And think i can do this another day
I hear a voice inside,saying Ron
You do not need to run and hide
You have the Lord standing by your side

As she opens the door
I see tears in her eyes
I feel her pain that she cannot hide
For she knows this is my last goodbye

My mind is rushing like a raging river
What do i do,what do i say
I never expected it to be this way
My insides are coming apart
As i stare blankly at the wall
At that very moment,my mind goes calm
And i feel OK,i can hear God saying
Its time for you to be on your way

As i turn and walk away
Tears flowing down her face
I stop when i hear her say
Please forgive me someday
And with the strength of a thousand horses
I hold her in my arms,no longer shaking
No more demons,no more fear
And i finally say in her ear
My Last Goodbye

Ron, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
