Goodbyes have infiltrated my life..
at first moment's glance I thought why?
Now I see
They were necessary..
For me to grow inside.
I've had to say it many times..
Having no choice but to move on.
Some of them
to beloved friends
Kindness with a heartfelt tone.
Some of them embellished by madness..
Extinguished to only a growl.
Thinking of better days..
Knowing I had to get away..
Face wearing only a scowl.
Some goodbyes brought tears to my eyes..
Saddened by dread, I had to say.
So many loved ones..
Knowing their time had come ..
And, watching them pass away.
The rare goodbyes not prepared for..
Having to carry that break in my heart.
Standing up in affection..
Fighting for their protection..
Keeping them safe by being smart.
I know goodbyes are never easy..
Some people can't endure that pain.
But, to know what's best..
Growing in the process..
There's blessings and lessons in the rain.
