Goodbye

Goodbye little girl
It's been a while
Goodbye little girl
As I set you afloat on the little boat down the stream

We've laughed, we've cried
We've loved, we've lost
We've risen, we've fallen
It's time

Goodbye little girl
As I do what I must
Let the tears flow
As I hold your hands for the last time

Goodbye little girl
I will always remember you
The gifts and toys we have shared
As I let you take them away

Goodbye little girl
I am sorry to say goodbye
Time and tide beckons
As they wait for no one

Goodbye little girl
You will always be in my heart
The one who always knew me
The one I could never lie

Goodbye little girl
As I turn around and walk away
I will be gone for a long time
To somewhere you may not find

Goodbye little girl
I know someday we will reunite
From now till then
I will hold you in the deepest depths of my heart

I have written a fair bit right now...out of the many entries I have written..there were some that I held very dear to my heart. If you care enough to read, you will probably find them. This is one of them.

I do not really expect anyone to understand this poem or the significance of it. More than anything, I wrote it for myself. All I can say is...it's probably one of the most important things I have ever written. The amount of difficulty that went to these simple words is beyond what I can describe. As to what the theme is...a part of it can actually be found in my physical monogamy entry and some other entries...though they are all really very small parts.

If you do not understand, it's alright..but I thank you for reading and if you have been following my writings, I would like to show my appreciation to you too.
