Goodbyes

 

The next generation

Last week I had the opportunity to get together with family, including some members who live far away. It was wonderful to see everyone. As usual on such occasions, when it came time to leave I found myself fighting back tears.

I always find it hard to say goodbye
To loved ones seldom seen
Inevitably, I begin to cry
 
They have their busy lives and I have mine
Branched paths that seldom cross
As our connections persist to untwine
 
Though they are always present in my heart
In flesh we seldom meet
So it is bittersweet for me to part
