Farewell To Suzie Poem by Hannington Mumo

Farewell To Suzie



Oh, why are you so radiant, merciful sun,
And why are the birds so gay?
Do you know our romantic rounds are done,
And I now must go away?

If you sheltered behind a cloud I would dream
You were aware of my pain,
And all birds singing a sad melody would seem
To be cheering my final train.

And why are you so sad dearest sweetheart,
Why are your cute eyes overcast?
Are they so gloomy because you know we must part,
Do you think this kiss is our last?

Then kiss me again and swallow that lump of fear,
And whisper your goodbye!
Your bespectacled face is too sweet for the stain of a tear
And your smile is the sun in my sky…

Your smile is the sun in my sky...what more could be said? Parting always seems.To come on cloudy days. Fitting. A sweet and tender write. Well done. I had been that saddened Suzie, seems too many times. PEACE
