Goodbyes Are Not Forever

By Jet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A silvery tear on a porcelin face. A sad little smile held tightly in place. Together they watch, together they wait Together they worry for their little girl's fate. Trying so hard to remain strong In the face of the moment they've dreaded so long The hatchling is free to fly from the nest Their part is over, she must do the rest. Tender hands healed broken hearts and skinned knees. Gentle voices gave talks of the birds and the bees. Killer homework was dealt with in a logical fashion. Comforting hugs, laughter, joy and compassion... A silvery tear on a porcelin face, As she works to maintain her composure and grace. I love you Mom. I love you Dad. I'll be okay...don't worry too bad. A silvery tear on a porcelin face Letting go of that last embrace. Through your tears you tell me never Believe that good byes are forever...In respone to Sunshine's challenge. It was too good to pass up. Love you mom and dad!
