One Last Goodbye Poem by Danny Speicher

A million miles down this rocky road
Oh, the smiles that remain in my mind
And, memories, they don't have a hard time
Finding their way into my dream's abode

Eight thousand hours treasured forever
And a lonesome, broken heart on the mend
Love doesn't always come to a happy end
At least it's a journey we endeavored

So, now that we've gone our separate ways
And the 'I love yous' are now history
I want to leave no shroud of mystery
How I loved you, and still love you today

I guess I'll love you forever somehow
Even when God grants love with someone new
There will remain a diff'rent love for you
But, it's time for one last goodbye for now

Until the thought of you no longer brings
Images of wedding days, children's laughs
An intimate love shown on your behalf
Until then, let this hope, in your ear ring:

May God bless you and faithfully keep you
May His countenance upon you bright shine
May His face graciously turn toward thine
And may He grant you peace, lasting and true

'Til I again look into your green eyes
Please accept, with love, this one last goodbye
