Farewell at last
I say goodbye
My time is growing short
We meet once more
The last, I’m sure
Beneath a painted sky
When finally the world is lifted
From these words we speak
The shame, the fear, the doubt will crumble
Worthless, to our feet
With language as a cover
Just a fake facade
A camouflage of kind to ponder
Under aimless stars
I journey on to vagrant times
I fill my troth again
With dreams of a sweet tomorrow
And a heart now free from sin
Francis J Grasso...written 2025.09.11
Our relationship is on shaky ground
We don't kiss each other like before
We don't say hello and goodbye anymore
We give each other the runaround
For the grace of God
We need to sit down to talk things over
We need the help of the Lord
Countless serious promises were made
That we must keep, cherish and honor
We must always sleep in the same bed
Until the end of time, until eternity
We must behave and act maturely
We must discuss everything thoroughly
We must smile and be nice to each other
We must live in peace and in harmony
And our love and passion must last forever.

Are only 3 years of marriage
We have both come to know
We can't continue this anymore
Its time one of us must go
Understand it's difficult for me
To be walking out that door
But it hurts me to stay here
And continue to hurt you more
Know that I truly do love you
But I don't know how to love you
I put the pain on your face
And I know it's in your heart too
To show you how much I care
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'm packing all my things
Then I'm going to divorce you
It's gonna break your heart
But I'll never hurt you again
And in time you find a new love
A d your story with him will begin
And though I'm dying inside
I must tell you goodbye
Please move on and enjoy life
I'm going to sit here and cry
Trace
You came and left like the wind
Sometimes I wonder if you were
Ever really here at all
But you were I can see your footprints
In the path of my existence
I’ll never forget when we first met
Fireworks lit up the dark night skies
As I held you tightly in my arms
I could see the love in your eyes
With you my world finally felt whole
I believed your love would be my last
Our life together was that of dreams
But all good things are never steadfast
It started with little quarrel we’d have
Then in a flash our love had gone bad
Your smile one day became extinct
And we were always sad or mad
Our fights started growing more intense
And we had begun to always yell
That love that once pleased my heart
For both of us had become a living hell
The woman I thought I’d love forever
And the one who I had made my wife
Has now become a distant stranger
Who painfully is no longer in my life
I look at the mirror in total disgust
And I hate the Man looking back at me
There’s not a thing I like about him
He’s worthless as far as I can see
I hate myself for the things I’ve done
And I hate myself for the things I’ll do
To be honest, I’d be better off dead
That’s the one thing I know is true
When my kids needed me the most
And we’re desperate for me to be around
I might as well have been a million miles away
Because I was nowhere to be found
And there is no forgiveness for that
At least there isn’t any for me
I feel they would be better off
If my existence would no longer be
Every day of their life has been a struggle
Because I wasn’t there for them to turn to
It tears my heart apart that I wasn’t
So I write in his poem as my final adieu
There are two days I know
Yesterday and today
Yesterday laid the cross I bear
Cross I dared not to wear
Forever we stay, they say,
But the thorns stares away
In the pasture last known to stray,
Cradle land, a means to an end
Forgive me if I stray to forever land
For my kin, I bared my soul to fend
I gave my all and my all it took
Parting is luxury for tomorrow unknown
Final glimpse I begged the stars to hide
Evil stares where eyes dared not look
In corners cloaked by fear and stain

Farewell! Farewell!
It’s time for my closing verse.
How long the years
that bless and unkindly curse,
till in a black wagon
our sorry a-rse draggin’
we get to flat ride in a hearse
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Father, we buried you today
in a wicker casket
wherein bones of Mother lay.
Laid to rest upon her
as the guest of honour
together once more to stay
1921 ~ 2014.

Alas for most of us the one time we
get to ride in a big chauffeur driven
limo is the day you’re DOA! RIP dad.
I'll never forget
Vs 1
Your things are gone, You've moved away...
I only have myself to blame...
I call your number, but it's changed...
I can't get over, all of my shame
Bridge
Why can't you please forgive me?
I just can't live without you near me!
Chorus
I'll never forget, just how much we cared...
I'll never forget, all the love we shared...
I'll never forget, you carried my name...
I'll always remember, that...I'm all to blame
Vs 2
I still remember, all of your tears...
but I dried them all somehow...
I still remember all of your fears...
but I can't protect you now.
Bridge
Why can't you please forgive me?
I just can't live without you near me!
Chorus
I'll never forget, just how much we cared...
I'll never forget, all the love we shared...
I'll never forget, you carried my name...
I'll always remember, that...I'm all to blame
Chorus
I'll never forget, just how much we cared...
I'll never forget, all the love we shared...
I'll never forget, you carried my name...
I'll always remember, that...I'm all to blame

The last stop
Of any Journey
Is the first stop
Into the Unknown
Saying Goodbye to a Web of Deception**
When did it become so effortless for him to weave his lies? Was it after their first anniversary, when the glow of their love began to fade? He meticulously plotted his betrayals, crafted intricate plans, and willingly cheated, transforming himself into a mastermind of deceit. Meanwhile, she wore her mask of a devoted mother and loving wife, concealing her pain as she smiled for their children. In public, she exuded warmth, but behind the closed doors of their home, she was a prisoner of her sorrow, tears streaming down her face in the silence of the night.
Then, that fateful summer night arrived—a turning point. She reached her breaking point and declared, “No more, no more.” When did it become so easy for him to betray the trust they once shared? Now, the scorned wife finds herself on death row, an ironic smile gracing her lips, revealing a chilling absence of remorse.
When did it become so simple to bid farewell to the tangled web of lies that defined her life?
I saw him in the corridor —
my mind stopped for a moment,
all my emotions rushing back,
stunned, yet I kept walking.
Once I was away,
I crossed a wall —
and broke down,
tears flowing down my cheeks,
words unsaid I couldn’t hold.
I wanted to stay,
to hold on to him,
but I needed to go —
to let go for my peace.
I saw his photo,
blurred by falling drops,
memories flashing like lightning,
wishing I could just drop dead.
If only this pain would stop —
I can’t hold on anymore,
I’m standing on the cliff’s edge,
hesitating to take that final step.
The heaviness in my heart,
the lump inside my throat,
a clash of hope and surrender —
begging my mind to accept the fate,
to face the harsh reality:
it’s time to let go.
Coal-brown smoke smudged lightly
with hesitant fingers
into the wet grey sky at the edges,
a yellowing of dried grass
scattered with copper berries
fallen from their vines,
a leaf spinning crazily on a breeze,
a tentative parting of fingertips
and a face turned slightly from mine –
a profile obscured by dark hair –
and eyes scan and count the pylons
for something to do.
The match flares, hissing in the silence,
and a cigarette is shared quietly
to still the noise inside
over this,
our goodbye
So many friends came to say goodbye
Remember the good times, not going to cry
You were such a part of everyone you knew
A special someone for everything that makes up you
Hard to accept that you are no longer here
Keep waiting for the moment when you reappear
It really hit me, hearing the songs you wrote
Nobody else could quite hit that same note
You just had the voice, perfect for that sound
Never could be matched, from anybody around
You've always been a part of us, somewhere in the background
It doesn't feel right, not having you around
This may have come late, but now I realize
You have always been a special part of our lives
George Wendt was an actor and he starred in "Cheers".
He loved to sit on that stool and drink plenty of beer.
He starred in many shows and movies but will be best remembered as Norm Peterson.
He attended Jesuit Rockhurst College and graduated with a B.A. in economics in 1971.
After he lived for 76 years, we're saying goodbye.
He was a unique man and it was his time to die.
People were fortunate to be able to see him act.
When I say that he had talent and skill, it's a fact.
[Dedicated to George Wendt (1948-2025) who died on May 20, 2025]
