we say goodbye
leave on good terms
better off as friends
We part ways on the path we shared,
finding it hard to say goodbye.
I hope to always hold your memory;
you were a shadow at my side.
Through thick and thin, the journey was long,
and we both learned what we needed to know.
We stood together through the struggle,
but now it’s time to let it go.
The road is wide, the air is clear,
we walk our separate ways today
untethered, light, and finally,
carefree.
We’ve been good friends for a long time.
Now we must shake hands, then goodbye.
Try to stay in touch with each other.
Our farewell will flow like a river.
My buddy, good luck, and take care.
Gazing at our sad eyes, don’t despair!
Remember our fun times of friendship
As we meet and part on our long trip.
Take a deep breath, relax, and smile
Later, the new friends will identify
Even farewell symbolizes sadness,
But knowing people brings us happiness.
Our work positions are temporary
Most friendships will fade finally
The fork in the road, we are facing
It’s time to smile for handshaking
School was out, setting her free in summer -
free to tell friends bye, be lonely and cry.
Tears would spill for a best friend of one year
who she had learned would in time forget her.
Most teens knew same place and faces through school.
Military brats do not live that truth.
Summer would decide her joy for school's start.
Parents choose suburbs, not an army base,
to be this year's school and friends starting place.
She hoped the house was in a neighborhood
with teens her same age to share summer skies,
then fall, winter and spring for her next page.
Your needs unmet and, too, mine equally
fulfilled,—I s’pose it’s best to leave this where
it stands.—what other course could feel as fair?
But deep disturbances in mon esprit,
increasingly violent unto me,
(as roaring winds and foaming omens) stir
tidal wave emotions without compare;—
breaking—in terrific fatality.
My heart adrift,—stranded soon on your shore,—
beats weak, throbs sad sobs, sniffles back such tears
of torrential regret...—and for what?
you?
Really, need I lament—this dullest score—
the abandon of your tempestuous fears?
No.,—if I capsize now, I never flew.—
At a loss. know not what to do
Not ready to say goodbye to you
Talked online for over a year
Became good friends, I love so dear
Sometimes we talked all through the night
We brought our inner souls to light
We shared secrets only each had known
Our love as friend has really grown
Our friendship has grown and I know it's real
Though sometimes I feel that its no big deal
Given time this friendship could grow
you know the saying "Time will Show"
After waving fire is cast at stability
After scorched wood cracks its last cry
After last ash touches down, tranquility
After light of dusk waves its goodbye
When the ashen remains settle out
When rain of twilight washes away
When days turn months born of drought
When a survivor returns to his stay
Then the broken parts are collected
Then volunteers help to rebuild
Then a newer chapter's directed
Then victim can again feel fulfilled
It was fire who made all that he wears
It is inferno that wants him to perish
It indiscriminately burned all his shares
It is those who followed he'll cherish
TEA MORNING
I SEE A CHURCH LOOKING OLD AND LONELY
CARS PARKED ON LEFT HAND SIDE OF STREET
NO FUNERAL GOING ON IN THE CHURCH
JUST ELDERLY FOLKS GOING FOR AFTERNOON TEA
OUT OF THE CARS THEY COME
CARRYING GOODS IN THEIR HANDS
HATS ON, STICKS IN ARMS
PARTNERS WALKING WITH THEIR LOVED ONES
LOOKING EVER SO CALM
WALING SLOWLY UP THE CHURCH PATH
WIPING THEIR FEET ENTERING THE DOOR
THE CLOCK STRIKES 11 O'CLOCK
THE GOSSIP BETWEEN THEM BEGINS TO FLOW
AND AS ALWAYS THEY SLICE THE FRUIT CAKE
POURING THE MORNING TEA
ANYONE FOR ANY
ALL GOING FOR 20P
12PM THE CLOCK STRIKES NOON
ELDERLY COME OUT THE CHURCH DOOR
SAYING AND HUGGING GOODBYE TO FRIENDS
AS THEY ENTER THEIR CARS
PARKED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD
~~~Hello~~~
So nice just to say hello,
So much better, than to say goodbye!
So sweet to hear the word,hello
Just warms the soul, warm and mellow!

Man's bestie
Not a poodle
or westie
He looks like a wolf
Not in sheep's clothing
No danger
Only love
Faithful presence
Honest happiness
I can call his name
And in he comes
Boundless
Longing to be known
Happy to have grown
Up with me
He rests and dreams
So do I
We dream together
We walk
I talk
Whatever the weather
He teaches me something
Every day
About faithfulness
Simplicity
Honesty
Love
Even when we have to say
Goodbye
His memory
Will be etched
Onto the tombstone
Of my life
Man's bestie
Not a poodle
or Westie
He looks like a wolf
Not in sheep's clothing
No danger
Only love
Faithful presence
Honest happiness
I can call his name
And in he comes
Boundless
Longing to be known
Happy to have grown
Up with me
He rests and dreams
So do I
We dream together
We walk
I talk
Whatever the weather
He teaches me something
Every day
About faithfulness
Simplicity
Honesty
Love
Even when we have to say
Goodbye
His memory
Will be etched
Onto the tombstone
Of my life
Talk to me while I am alive
So I can give you a high five
So I can happily say hello
To my relatives and my good friends
Talk to me while we can watch the rainbow
Together and while we can shake hands.
Talk to me while we can talk
About everything under the sun
And talk to me while we can walk
Together under the light of the moon
Give me the flowers right now, today
Not when I left, departed or flew away.

time wings on by
we forget to say hi
a notice arrives
non-verbal goodbye
tears well up now...
we still recall how
to point a finger at fate
tho it's us who's too late
GOODBYE TO A FRIEND
I had a friend but, I had to let her go
We are both upset and the tears did flow
I had a friend but, I had to say goodbye
No-one can say I didn’t try
We were friends off and on for ten years
We shared the laughter and the tears
We both have Bipolar and it came between us
Earth to earth and dust to dust
She has the highs and I have the lows
It’s nobody’s fault, that we both know
I will miss her and she will miss me
But our friendship can no longer be
I had a friend but, I had to say goodbye
That’s all I can say before it makes me cry.

What Makes Friendship
What makes distance so touchable,
What makes arm wrestling physical,
What makes fun a thing for two,
What makes tears of missing you,
What makes secrets last, insiders,
What makes smiles, to be tear-wipers,
What makes fighting, ugh, forgivable,
What makes forgiving unbearable,
What makes oops somewhat culpable,
What makes cleanup punishable,
What makes laughs, the one-legged wins,
What makes others say, "Not twins?",
What makes saying goodbye really hard,
What makes memories my field of regard.
