Leave Taking Poem by B. V. Dahlen

Leave Taking



I didn’t leave you thinking
that my offering would change
the course of history,
But because I felt called to serve.
I left with you
the most precious part of me,
my legacy, my children’s future,
yours to guard.
I left with longing in my heart
to see our future and our course.
I left with pride to see your strength.
I left with sadness to see your tears.
I wrap my love around you now.
I wish that I could comfort you,
But with that strength that I admired,
I ask of you to endure, and stay,
To wear my devotion and honor,
like an gentle robe, knowing always
how much I loved you.
