A Kiss And A Wave Goodbye Poem by Patti Masterman

A kiss and a wave goodbye:
Is that what's left, at the end;
Goodbye to lovers, goodbye to friends,
The mothers and fathers, when you've reached the end-
Just goodbye?

A kiss and a wave goodbye,
And take along a piece of my heart, to say
Goodbye, as you're going to that final place
Of endless sleep, where are found no more days-
Just say, goodbye?

A kiss and a wave goodbye,
And a hope that someday we'll meet again;
Surely this can't be the end of our song,
And just when I’d thought, to sing it for ever so long-
And now just say, goodbye?
