08-09-18 Goodbye

You sat across from me Tears in your eyes You said you told yourself That you weren't going to cry But somehow the tears Found a way to fall We both faced the inevitable No longer could we stall You said it was time For us to walk away Time for you and I To face a brand new day No longer would you and I Be a couple anymore Things that we could not control Pushed us through that door So many memories So many happy years Of course more then a few times When we both shed tears The fear you felt Not long ago Has again returned As a foe you well know It seems once again cancer Has reared it's ugly head It has again grabbed a hold of you While filling your life with dread Now I could be like other people And tell you things will be just fine But after what I've been through That's no longer my state of mind God and only God knows What the plan will be For no one knows the outcome That awaits both you and me So as you travel your journey Down lifes roads unknown Try to always remember The things that you were shown Hope, faith, love and strength Just to name a few In my years here on earth I've never met anyone as strong as you 8-9-18/RjH
