No person wants to ever say good-bye

  but that day eventually comes for us all.

  It waits for no man, as time will simply fly

  till the day comes when fate makes the call.

  When laid to rest another chapter ends

  as new paths and contacts quietly form.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  There will always be new family and friends

  new people here to help weather the storm.

  Saying farewell to a loved one isn’t easy

  a lesson we all must eventually learn.

  While this poet doesn’t want to be cheesy

  life forces each of us to take our turn.

  When someone goes, we feel it deep below

  but take each hit in stride, go with the flow.
