A people with no country- A team without a goal, A song without it’s music A man without a soul.... A fire without it’s warming rays A day without it’s light A lifeless sea, and lifeless land- A starless. moonless night. How vain all these might seem to be The bottom line, it's true- That none of these are so forlorn As me, here, without you. A toast, a smile, a long range kiss Some way to touch your heart- On this a very special day, Yet we are far apart. We are, and thus we will remain- Forevermore, I fear.... And yet I love you all the more- I really do, my dear. Merry Christmas? Probably not- I wanted you to know- You haunt my days, and fill my nights Where ever I may go. I’ve said it all so many times- Time and again I try... To make it real for both of us But there are no "good" goodbyes. Visit My Home Page http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |

Excellent as always GS. And you're right there never are good good-byes. |

Excellent G.S I like this a lot! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Such a simple and poignant piece, deftly rhymed, with your everpresent insightful, poetic indicia. |

What a great poem..so true, goodbye doesn't exist really, for how do we ever say goodbye to those who remain in our hearts forever...  |

I don't believe there is anyone who cannot relate to that in some way. Bravo. |
