Life is full of ups and downs
So many obstacles to face
So difficult to dawn a smile
To end each night with grace

A journey not for weak at heart
To succeed one must be clever
Attempt this challenge not alone
For best friends are forever

They fill your heart with cheer
They offer support not often found
The best friends are forever
They never let you down

Sorry is such an emotional word
It seems so hard to say
The strain it takes is so absurd
To cause one to act this way

Allow me to venture profound
To run against the grain
To immolate that fearful sound
That brings about such pain

I will escape the shadow
And ponder what I’ve begun
For I want you to know
I’m sorry for all I’ve done

I did not mean to hurt you
It was not my intent
I ask your forgiveness true
As I seek to repent

I know life seems rough today
But there’s always tomorrow
Find hope in what you dismay
Do not bind yourself to sorrow

Find strength inside your tears
Formed from heartfelt compassion
Wisdom gained from many years
Of moments birthed in passion

Find cheer in the revelation
That hope prevails over despair
That life presents celebration
In this existence that we share

Find solace in your soul
That you are so unique
Faith be the golden rule
When happiness you seek

Such sadness in our parting
So much sorrow in goodbye
Pain of separation starting
So many tears to cry

I did not wish to let you go
My life is not the same
Hurt I thought I’d never know
When I whisper your name

You were part of me
Two souls bound as one
Your spirit set me free
When our journey begun

Goodbye need not be forever
Only God knows our destination
We will always be together
As long as we have imagination

Saying goodbye to friends
Such an emotional display
And how it goes depends
On what you do and say

Saying goodbye suggests
Finality unrelenting
Separation births the test
Relationships repenting

Strong bonds will prevail
Distance makes them stronger
Goodbye does not seem fair
As tears refrain no longer

Good friends hard to come by
You do not wish to part
Eventually the teardrops dry
Memories heal your heart

Goodbye to what might have been
Only the memories linger on
And as emptiness sets slowly in
My heart tells me your gone

More than a boyfriend to me
You were a special friend
But it was not meant to be
Our journey found its end

Goodbye to dreams we shared
To the time we spent together
Our Souls were passionately bared
As love was pledged forever

Goodbye is all that’s left to say
May you find a love that’s true
Although today the sky is gray
One day it will be blue

When I need someone to talk too
I don’t have far to go
I know who will hear me through
That’s why I love her so

My Aunt is a true friend
Who can hear what I say
Has sound advice to lend
In her own special way

I have a very special Aunt
A niece could not hope for better
To listen calmly without rant
And be a built in babysitter
