Poetic Yearnings: Goodbye is Not A word I want to Say

Goodbye is Not A word I want to Say

My heart is bursting with pride

Yet still I die a little inside

May daughter grown

The seeds are sown

My baby girl is leaving me

She will be too far to see

Each and everyday

Too far to do more than say

Hello by Skype and how are you

My heart feels empty

My eyes do too

As silent tears I cry

As have to say goodbye

So she can live her dreams

But still it seems

It’s not fair why can’t a job be found?

So she can move across town?
