One Last Time

ONE LAST TIME

Gathering here for one last time.
Of laughing, singing just like before.
Remembering when we had so much time
Enjoying life and friends once more.

We could not stop the seasons passing
As we held tight to days gone by
Filled with new friends and tender feelings
We loved and laughed and we did cry.

We knew that seasons always end
We felt the change yet carried on
Having to say goodbye to friends
We grieved the day that you’d be gone

Through all those times both good and bad
We stood tall for those in need
Always strong for the friends we had
Were we those friends in dire need?

The day has come for you to leave
To that place that you did know
To begin a journey where you will weave
New and old memories as you grow.

So as you fly along life’s winding road
Making new memories and new friends
Do not forget the path once rode
When your road at last does end.




Forever your friend

About this poem:
During my time with a lady I dated for a while I became part a her core group of friends. When she decided to move away we gathered to say our farewells. This is how I said mine.

I love to travel, and have been all around the world.

The only part I don't like, is having to say good bye to friends who I will never see again. But I have learned that a firm handshake, a strong embrace, and a smile, is the best way to say goodbye.
