Bye For Now . . . Thx Paul C!

BYE FOR NOW


Goodbye seems so final – seven letters in a row,
“Bye for now” feels better – this I do know.

When parting ways from this earth or simply for the day,
Bye for now is comforting – that I must say.

Bye for now provides a chance to meet again somehow,
To give or get another hug – that time, it will allow.

Bye for now offers hope to all the ones we love,
That simple phrase might be a gift directly from above.

Days can feel oh so long, but years are short indeed,
Ask anyone who’s lost a love – “Just one more day,” we plead.

All the memories in our hearts, tucked away, we keep,
Special ones leave a mark, one that’s surely deep.

So, let’s not say goodbye.  Let’s change the way we part,
Let’s say, “Bye for now.”  It’s softer on the heart.

Whether it is in a text, long e-mail, or note,
Let it be remembered – bye for now is what we wrote.

Or when our time on earth has met its final date,
It’s bye for now, not goodbye – see you at The Gate!
