Parting

A parting can cause great sadness
With those you call Friend.
The memories of time spent together
Have intertwined your our
Each life impacting the other
In ways that are beyond measure
But now its time to part,
for the path we walked together
Now sends us in different ways.
In the process, sadness will follow,
separation can at first be hard to bear.
But take heart my friends,
For parting does not mean goodbye,
Because the memories we have of one another,
Held within our hearts
Will keep us close together
No matter how apart we are.
So, hold onto those memories
of the time spent together
for they transcend time and distance,
Awaiting the possible day when new memories can be made.
