Goodbye For Now...

So this is goodbye,
     for now...
Released, like the caged bird
     Your soul set free.
Left with memories
     to fill the emptiness
that suddenly came to be.

Now at rest.
Now at peace.

The broken and worn cast off,
     so you can move once more.
The sadness shared by those you
     left behind...
Is sharp, cutting and sore.

But the Love is real.
And the Loves still here.

So even with goodbye
     and as we shed the tears.
We celebrate your goodness,
     knowing you are near.
So the time has come
     and at peace you share.
Knowing that we all move on,
     even at peace we are...

Goodbye Mom
     till we meet once more...
