Goodbye Poem by I.J. Benjamin

And now my time has passed,
i have to leave,
for nothing good or bad may
last,
but in my old
age I know,
unlike me,
you will not
fall,
for no matter how hard you try
the fire within you will
never die
for it burns brighter than any Sun
and it has just
begun.

And though there will be times of pain,
times when you are
sad, i'll watch over you,
my beautiful child,
i will be the wind in the chimney or the
rain outside,
i'll be a boy on the
swings
or a girl in the
park,
who puts a flower in your hair
who makes you smile,
i'll be the moon and the stars
forever in stillness
waving

goodbye.
