Thursday at 6:10 a.m.
I will take off into the sky,
content to forget about you
and I won't even say goodbye.

It's quite obvious to me now
we have nothing left to say,
if I make it through the layover
at Charlotte-Douglas, I'll be okay.

Things change, tables turn,
life goes on through tears,
it's time I should be going,
no longer captive to my fears.

My bags are packed by the door,
the ticket long ago bought,
there's no turning back now,
no entertaining second thought.

And when you realize I'm gone
you'll say you never understood,
that's okay; you see, sometimes
no goodbye is just as good.

Stay safe, Dixie. And hope to hear from
you when you get settled. You will be in
my thoughts and prayers.

Dixie,

   Things change, tables turn,
life goes on through tears,
it's time I should be going,
no longer captive to my fears.


Melodic lines that are lived and to be lived by.  Have a safe trip and good luck to you.

Oh, Dixie,  I wish you a life seen through smiles. The tears are only for washing away debris.   You've already crossed worlds and there are so many smiles coming from us at PIP.  Much love ~ Klassy

We all make trips

Mine should be by car

Across 5 countries

That never now

Seem too far

Yes sometimes we know and other times we know

Until we arrive

Three days is a beginning... or an ending. Either way, touch down lightly.
