On Saying Goodbye

Everyone has a sad day No matter who you are There are certain days That are the saddest by far One of the saddest of all days Is seeing someone leave You don't want to but In your heart you know you'll grieve It's usually someone special Someone who lives in your heart You don't want to face the day When you know they will part You know you must be strong Leaving is something they must do They are doing it for themselves Not to just hurt you You have to stand back You have to let them go But before they leave You must let them know Just how much they mean to you How much they have enriched your life Even though you know saying goodbye Is going to cut you like a knife Let them know because of you Your life was made better You will forever remember them Even as your eyes keep getting wetter The tears that will fall Will be tears of joy and sorrow Joy, because you've known them Sorrow, because they'll be gone tomorrow But always remember the memories You have because of them When you sit back and remember You'll remember all the fun back then So let them go with grace Wear a smile upon your face Knowing that their place In your heart is secure and safe 7-9-09/RjH
