GOODBYES
 
 
From the moment of first meeting,
we know that some tomorrow,
there will be goodbyes to say,
we know that will bring sorrow.

Goodbyes and doors closing,
a part this is never easy to take,
although there will be hellos,
opening doors and new friends to make.

Goodbyes are filled with much regret,
usually because we never had the time,
to enjoy one another enough,
there was always reason, yours or mine.

Goodbyes are meant to teach us,
to value all the time we can,
to spend it with those we care about,
for once gone, we won't be again.

Friends and loves lost in the night,
another goodbye has sadly come,
the beauty and wonder of life,
growing and experience must be done.

Nothing will replace what is gone,
we go on with love in our heart,
we go on with love of life,
we go on and do our part.

Be aware of the time that you give,
by working for another's dream,
find a way to work for yourself,
it is not as hard as it may seem.

For this will be the only way,
that you have the control of you,
this will be the only way,
to keep your regrets to a few.
