    How do you say goodbye

    Ho do you say goodbye when you’ve barely said hello
    Ignoring the ticking time bomb as time passes by
    Never letting my feelings show

    It seems unfair to let go of you
    I don’t know if I even can
    I imagine I will feel empty with nothing left inside but lost

    So often now I stop to watch you do the most mundane things
    Taking a snap shot in my head
    Wondering if it will be the last time

    I want to cradle you in my arms like a child
    To protect you,
    But mostly to feel your heart still beating strong—we will all be fine

    You have always had a strength I could not attain to
    I never knew how you could endure so long
    Every mess always brought out the best in you

    If life is the same for you and I
    And God can be just as big in mine
    Then bring on Glory now—its time I had my share

    I need something strong to hold onto to
    Up until now that has always been you
    I don’t really know what the change is gonna do—but I feel strong

    It seems you lived your life always giving
    Never compromising your faith for a living
    Not so busy working to remembered to ask how we were

    The thought of losing you is something I cant think on too long
    It brings misery to mind
    I’m just not sure that I can sing your song—but I will try

    What will I ever do if your gone
    How will this life carry on
    Cause you know you’ve swallowed up my heart with your song

    I like this poem because it reminds me of the days i had, as well it is so heart felt as what muttman1 states. I still feel the song of the wing thru the pain i am having, as well as what if the song stops playing.

    That was very heart felt

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
