The pain of having to say those words…

Good Bye

Much too soon,
Much too young to see this happen to one you love.

A Role Model,
A Teacher,
A Wonderful Soul.

Who will I tell my new good news,
Where shall I turn, when I need help most.

An inspiration, a joy to have known.

But when the end is in sight,
What can I say to ease the pain…

Never have words been so hard to speak, two simple words,
Good bye

Not knowing what to expect, will there be a response, will there be a cry

With tears welling up the last thing I heard …
“You are going to be a great man someday”
