Departure.

Stood there teary eyed
To see my father leave
Though just for only a week
I wore my heart on my sleeve.
That's when my mind fumbled
On a thought that made me mumble
Thinking about those
Who have to bid goodbyes, forever
That feeling, that glance
That one last stance
By which the person is remembered.
That last touch
That last hug
That last kiss
Which will be missed
With a little hope
And a little faith
To meet in life
Once again
But knowing inside
It won't come true
Of the future
We don't have a clue
Just the memories left behind
We bid adieu
With a faint little smile.

And then I thought of those
Who don't even
Get a chance
To meet
The last goodbyes
Cause, for them so sudden
The changes, outridden
Flows river of the shattered soul.

Be it the two love birds
Parting after those amazing  years
On their farewell,
Both sitting numb
Cause they don't know
What the future holds
They might not meet, ever.

Be it the mother deer
Went to search food
For her minor
hunt down, killed.
The baby longing his mother, under the hood, forever.

Be it his old mother
Or his new bride
The man of the family didn't return
Faught brave, with pride
Died.
While his child waiting in the womb.
