Farewell to Family

The last goodbye is said,

To parents and siblings dear,

As we hold on to the thread,

Of a love that's always near.

We say farewell to what was,

From the childhood that we knew,

But in our hearts, there's a buzz,

Of love, that will always be true.

We'll remember the laughter,

And the tears that we shared,

For in our hearts forever after,

You will always be there.

Though we may be apart,

Our bond will still remain,

For in our hearts, a part of you,

Will forever remain.

The last goodbye is said,

But it's not the end,

For in our hearts, you'll always be,

Our family, our closest friends.

We'll carry your love with us,

As we journey on ahead,

And in every step we take,

We'll know you're there, with us, in our hearts,

Until we see you again.

Anticipation's Embrace

In anticipation's grasp,

Grief takes hold so tightly,

As we wait for what must pass,

Our hearts feel heavy, rightly.

We know what's yet to come,

But cannot change fate,

So in our minds, we hum,

A mournful, endless wait.

We grieve for what will be,

And all that will be lost,

For memories yet to flee,

At any cost.

We fear the final goodbye,

The end of what we know,

But in this grief, we find,

A love that continues to grow.

We hold on to the past,

And all the moments shared,

For in anticipatory grief,

Love is always bared.

So let us embrace this pain,

And find comfort in the tears,

For in anticipation's embrace,

Our loved ones are always near
