goodbyes
when do you say them?
before or after
you go?

When you say hello its right away
So I guess
right away is when
goodbye should be said

I really am not ready to go
its so far away
but it seems
I'll miss it here

Once the time comes
I hope I live till I am 100
So I can make sure
I leave behind no one

Goodbyes could be happy
Lets let each passing
end happily
Lets not say goodbye


------This poem is about not wanting to say goodbye when the time comes for me to die 100 years from now( at least 60).------

yeah, I agree that you should never say goodbye, because you never really know what's in store. Nice thoughts here.

That's an awesome poem. There are, although not known, times when we have to say goodbye without warning, at young ages. Your poem opens my mind and shows that no one should have to say goodbye to the world, someone, or something and a tender young age.

Keep up the talented writting sweet friend.

With Love and serenity,
