One year instead of gifts we wrote each other poems for Christmas. I had just graduated highschool a few weeks before here’s a segment of what I wrote.
The dreams that seemed
So far out of reach
The memories we held
So closely
Afraid to let go
Now we know
Letting go
Doesn’t mean
Saying goodbye forever
It allows for new memories
To grow
(C) Michelle R Kidwell
Dec.1996
And Aretha
Refreshing sea water
The blue of the sky
Smiles and laughter
Take all my sadness
Away.
(C) Aretha V.
December.1996
Beautifully written. You are right that letting go doesn’t mean goodby forever.
