to even find the words

to say just how I feel

when it’s time

to say goodbye.

There are no words

adequate enough

to begin to express

how I’m feeling

or exactly why

I feel this way.

So I’ll simply write down

these inadequate words

and say it like this:

I’m so very glad

that our paths crossed

as they did,

a most happy accident

that must have been

meant to be.

Goodbye isn’t a word

that’s really in my heart,

not a word I ever use

even when far apart.

Things happen for reasons

I seldom understand,

so I’ve stopped

the second-guessing

and trying to figure

them out.

You’ve taught me

such a lot of things

in so many different ways.

And there’s no way

to repay the joy

you’ve brought

to my heart.

And in the future,

should our paths cross again,

I’ll remember these times

and the smiles they brought.

And as I wish you well

on the journey ahead

I know that you’ll find

smooth sailing along the way,

that the paths you travel

will lead exactly where

you want them to go.

I’ve been so very blessed by all who have

crossed my path on this incredible journey

and wish them well on the new paths

they’re traveling as I continue to hope

that we’ll cross paths once again.

Thanks always for your visits and comments

and for not saying “goodbye” quite yet.

Big Hugs.
