My Poems

Saying Good-Bye

You came into my life

like a drop of a dime.

You told me you were leaving.

I asked you why?

You said; You need to explore the world.

To see what it could give you.

But I thought I was giving you all you need.

You know if I could, I would until I bleed.

I prayed to God to make you stay,

because I know I’ll miss you each and everyday.

But I know it will never end that way,

because you’re leaving me anyway.

The time came when we had to say good-bye.

As you were walking out that door.

I felt like I was going to die.

But something whispered in my ear

and told me don’t you cry my dear,

because the pain will pass you by.
