I Say Goodbye Poem by CHARMAINE SIMPSON

As i release from my fingertips what was a lifetime,
I say goodbye -
As the final river of tears stream down my face,
I say goodbye -
These the last tears i will cry for this journey.
As i recall once more the path travelled and shared
with a truly amazing soul,
I say goodbye -
As i listen once more and allow myself to feel the depth
of emotion in the beautiful sounds of music we shared,
I say goodbye -
As i thank you one more time for sharing with me
the gift of our beautiful child,
I say goodbye -
And as i cherish for one more time all the happiness,
laughter, tears, love, trust, and friendships we shared,
I say goodbye -
As i now gather together all of these irreplaceable moments
and find a sacred place in my heart and my memory
where i now choose to let rest,
I say goodbye.
