Goodbye
The time has come to say goodbye
It's so hard to do
We all want to hold on for as long as we can to them
Because we don't want them to go
But we know it's a never ending process
That we all will go through it
A never ending cycle
We delay it as long as we can
Holding the tears in
We try to be strong
For them
We tell them we love them
Give them a hug...or two
And make them promise they will come back and see us
Then...we let go
Watching with our now blurred vision as they walk away
For we dare not cry in front of them
And now we are left with a gap in our family
A place that will soon have to be filled by new comers
And then we will go through it again
For it's a never ending cycle.
