Best Fond Farewell Poems

A Fond Farewell to the Soup
You've all been "Souper".

As I set down at the keyboard
My eyes are filled with tears
For I’ll be saying “ Good-bye”
To folks I’ve “known” for years.

I recently self-published my 4th book
Silly rhymes now fill some 400 pages.
Printed up “officially” in the...

A Fond Farewell
By
M P Walsh

I text her every day at Ten, just to say good day,
Ask how’s it going, Nana, is everything okay?
Did you sleep the sleep of slumber, or stay awake ‘til 10,
And by the way the real good news, the Red Sox won...

When our flag is torn and burned I yearn 
For an America I once knew.
When our patriots fall I hear the call
Of cold blood red, white and blue.

And hearing the talk from those that mock 
The beauty of our beliefs,
I’m reminded that freedom’s price
Isn’t always...

It's harder than we thought-to bid you farewell
The memories lived here, those moments to dwell
The walls resonating our laughter,absorbing our tears
A night's sleep in your arms would allay all our fears.

Packing the things from each nook- all that we might,
Can't take with us the solace...

Fond Farewell



Questionable relationships,
Blemished with disappointment.
Unforeseen deception,
Sincerity a sham.

Self-interested motives,
Fair-weathered associations.
Politically correct affiliations,
Unforgivable avoidance.

Cast-off, black-listed,
Circumstantial accusations.
Self serving agendas,
Betrayal no more.

No love lost....
What comes around, Goes Around....

Time cascades like falling leaves
Floating where the wild winds gust
A moment past, forever lost
Enveloped in a stream of years

To be, to cease, to drift away
Some distant place awaits beyond
Remote, unyielding, surpassing measure
To liberate all past constraint

The wild winds surge before this place
Scattering leaves within its...

   The circus is over
      It’s left us forever

    Except for our memories
      ~ no 'adieu' can sever

Merry is the way you spin me around, its no hard sell
Just you and I enjoying time on a two-person carousel
I heard no sound when that heartwood tree fell
Focused only on your sweet scents to which I smell
You're proof that pennies are worth wishing to...

With a heart heavy with sorrow 
To know you gone into eternal night
I bid you farewell

With a head full 
Of wonderful memories of you
I bid you farewell

With the hope of seeing you again
In the glory of God
I bid you farewell

Your soul has left your body
But...
