It's So Hard To Say Goodbye Poem by David Beckham

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye

Rating: 4.5


I found you at an early age
Took you under my wings...
My joy, my love, is you
Nothing can separate you from me

My life at cross roads
Noting the pains of separation
Should I continue or should I stop?
Is it time to pull the plug?

My joints are filled with pains of a joyful past
The harrowing experience of this debacle
To this day is not limiting
Ceaselessly controlling my emotions to put me out there to burn

All sentimental regards…so nostalgic
The base for commitment...so fanatic
Blinded in euphoria...so frenetic
The games must continue...so realistic

Some things are forever true
Your fun is endless
Your knowledge is endless...
But my life, is not endless

If my life were endless like time
I'd be with you forever
But its not
And so, I have to say, 'Goodbye'

Today, I put you out in the street with a sign
'Free soccer balls and cleats'
The bondage has been broken
Farewell my friend

It certainly is hard to say goodbye to the closest of friends. I think you captured the feeling of loss and sorrow quite well. Thanks so much for sharing... Marina...

Everything shall change with time and at certain period of life, everything will be different. Our point of view, our choice, our determination and commitment shall goes foward with what time, age and desire required. Life should be appreciated and there is farewell for everything and everyone. No body can escape the reality that when our life's journey become longer, the path become shorter. Live your life and do what your heart telling you to do because this is your life and this is your jouney. Good poem.
