and do not make it harder to leave you
because of tears in your eyes.
Smile that knowing smile
I have grown to expect
and hold yourself up straight and tall.
without regrets.
Each day has a dusk,
a night and an end.
Let this day be one where
the sunset remains in your memory,
one where the sky was full of bright shining stars
and the glow of the moon lit up the darkness.
about good things that must come to an end,
and nothing lasts forever,
they are all saying what we know is true.
There is a time when we can walk side by side
and a time for one to go on
and the other to walk alone
for a time.
and let you live again the times we had together.
and go on with confidence
that you understand and forgive the wrongs
as well as remember what I did that was worthy.
that you cause them pain.
Love is never having to say you are sorry
just knowing that the other understands you
well enough to feel what you feel
even if they do not fully comprehend all the nuances of these emotions.
tot weeziens, auvoir
the time has been well spent
but I am now ready to move on.
See my smile as I walk into the setting sun
across the sandy beach,
the ocean lapping at my bare feet.
as the shadows of dusk take me into the night.
One look over my shoulder
and a wave of my hand goodbye my dear loved one.
a century almost passed,
a decade at an end,
a year is at its close,
the last month, the final day
that concludes and marks another passing.
and death yet we look forward to the dawn of the next day
which will be the beginning of something new.
Hold these thoughts of rejoicing at my passing.
marking off the moments that are left for us all.
It is only that I hear my clock
ticking louder with each passing day
and before the last of the sand
slides down the smooth sides of the hourglass
I want to say goodbye.
rich with love
and appreciation
and I am honored
you allowed me to share some of the special moments of your life.
let me carry on,
remember all I have told you.
Goodbye and go on,
be strong and happy
in all that you do.
