A New Beginning

I took you to the airport As we waited for your plane The thought of you leaving Almost drove me insane But deep inside I knew This was something you must do I almost held back my tears But soon they started falling for you I stood there as you boarded the plane I watched it go down the runway While I hurt deep inside I know for you it's a happy day It's your chance to make a new start A chance for you to be you To do the things you want to do You're ready to start your life anew As the jet roared down the runway A smile came to my face I was not glad to see you go But I know you'll be in a happier place Your leaving one life behind you Looking forward to a new one to begin It makes me happy just knowing That you and I will never have an end I'll always remember you as the one Who came along and mended my heart A heart that had been broken and torn apart Because of you, a heart given a brand new start 4-14-06/RJH
