The goodbye

this is about my mother passing.

I came one last time to say good-bye, but my appearance fell on blind eyes.
I said I loved you again for you to hear, but my words fell on deaf ears.
I was asked to tell you it was OK to go,
So I did even as my heart begged me to say no.
So if you ask, I will not lie.
The hardest part is saying good-bye.

Author's Note

This was hard to put out. It is for my mother who passed in 2016.

[Gee]

Sometimes it is better to let go than to keep because we love too much.
In Europe now euthanasia is becoming, slowly, more popular. Why would anybody want to watch a loved one suffer.
I'm so sorry for your loss Lacy.
If not still to raw a poem I posted called " A Mothers Passing" might appeal to you.
Good morning.

There is no easy way through bereavement. This work captures that pain perfectly. Well done.
