Soon you will be leaving
And I'll have to say good-bye
When it's time for us to part
The tears will fill my eyes

Everytime I turn around
Your reflection I will see
Looking from the window
Just staring back at me

I'll turn ever so quickly
In hopes to find you there
And pray that you remember
Just how much for you I care

I hope that you'll always know
You forever have a part
A really special place
Down deep within my heart

Know that as you walk away
My fragile heart will break
And as my tears start falling
My shoulders will gently shake

Good-byes are never easy
Though my heart is rent in two
The times we've had I'll cherish
Cause I learned of love from you

WhtDove,
How familiar does the sound of this smack.  Send him the poem and he'll come flying back
Wonderful writing.

Thanks so much Rebecca... Yup, you captured those feelings great...
For everyone who wondered, I -jokingly- asked WhtDove if she could write me a poem about goodbyes, and she cheerfully obliged coming up with this lovely poem ).
I like it a lot, captured so much of it I don't know what to say...

I could have sworn that I replied to this when I read it last night (?) Am I getting senile now? Well, what I thought I had said last night was "This is absolutely beautiful Rebecca! So glad to see you writing again! Encore, Encore!!"

WhtDove: Another challenge. Since we both have border collie crosses why not write a poem about them (or all dogs) and their boundless energy... Sure to be great for all involved. My puppy went to her first horse show today...

Amber good challenge, I know I wrote one about her and the balloons. I think I titled it "Kodak Moment."  Not sure, I'll have to look that one up. Maybe it will be appropriate, and maybe I'll have to write another one.    Thanks

Snowpants (love that name)  
I'm glad you enjoyed it, not sure I'm happy that anyone can relate to it though, if ya know what I mean.  We all cross those moments in our life, and they're never easy.
Thank you!
