People Leaving Poem by Ray Hansell

It's funny when your young
We'd always use to believe
The people that you love
Are never going to leave

But leave they will
In many different ways
Some reasons will be sad
Some reasons will amaze

Some leave for personal reasons
They will just run away
Hoping maybe to find
A better life someday

Some will leave to marry
To start a brand new life
A woman will leave her husband
A husband will leave his wife

The reasons will be many
But that's just how life goes
As you enter into a marriage
No one ever knows

But the hardest one to deal with
Is when someone passes away
It's a pain felt forever
You re-live it every day
