Never Shall I Say Good-Bye Poem by Christine K. Trease

I shall say I love you more than the grains of sand.
I shall say I want you more than you can understand
I shall ever cherish you, endless in supply
But I shall never utter the simple words good-bye

I shall say I need you with a passion ever deep
I shall say I'll sow the seeds, if you it is I'll reap
I shall show we're endless, more than the star-lit sky
But what I will not ever say, are the simple words good-bye

Forever I will love you with a fettered love demure
Forever I will be your heart, endless and ever-pure
Forever I will love you beyond the day I die,
And even then, when the time has come, I shall never say good-bye.
