My Final Goodbye Notes Poem by Mary Nagy
My Final Goodbye Notes
It's the fear
of an early departure
mixed with knowledge
of things left unsaid.
I sit biting my lip
as I write this.
I don't notice the pain
till I've bled.
Do I say
''Goodbye'' or ''See ya later''?
Overwhelmed by this
feeling of dread.
They all know that my heart
was made for them
(or made by them
as I've often said) .
I must go with the plan of returning
still I plan so I leave no regrets.
I have written my final goodbye notes
with the hopes they will never be read.
Dear Sweet Mary: I hope you know that our prayers will be with you every step of the way, and our love, and that we don't want those notes ever read either. We love and respect you so much. Rest easy, love, and take care.
No Probs Mary. All will be well, and you'll be tearing up those notes in no time. Think positive. Love and best wishes to you and I will chat again soon. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
Oh Mary so sad, please say it is not you. Deeply from the heart. Patricia Gale

Mary, I'd like to think 'see ya later' would be more appropriate, less feeling of finality than 'goodbye' in my opinion. Anyway, really good poem, it makes you think... Brian
A very dear write of facing the depth of one's love when facing the possible worst... This touched me, esp. the fourth stanza. May I use that on my future headstone? ! Glad that you are finished with the worst now, and recovering more each day. Love, Esther : ]
Let it all float away Mary. It wil better sooner than you think. Sarah Wasserstein
