Good Bye

Amazing how departure can create such sorrow
friends are wrenched apart by the hands of fate.
Families torn; but it is such sweet sorrow.
When friends are reunited
and families mended
tears of joy after long departures
hearts are filled with the warmth that
only friends and family brings.
Then the time to leave again comes too soon.
Departure brings such sorrow yet makes you truly appreciate
what you lose.
Memories bring smiles when
an emptiness is bared
memories of friends that were
once there...
