Sending An End Away Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

This comes as no surprise,
Your goodbye hurts my eyes.
These tears I can not stop...
Each dropp blocks my farewell.

And even though I know,
Tomorrow has to come...
It's still not in my heart,
To leave yesterday this way.

With a new beginning,
Sending an end away.

When morning brings to us sunrise,
Let us not speak of regret.
Let us not wish to stop time...
To fulfill promises not met!
Or any made left broken,
We should forgive and must forget.

When these hours come to pass...
And none are here to stay for good!
Let us ask ourselves,
If we've done the best we could.

And even though I know,
Tomorrow has to come...
It's still not in my heart,
To leave yesterday this way.

With a new beginning,
Sending an end away.

This comes as no surprise,
Your goodbye hurts my eyes.
These tears I can not stop...
Each dropp blocks my farewell.
And I should not take this time,
To sit and dwell!
But I will,
Wish you well...
As that hour comes,
To introduce something new
That has begun for everyone.
