Leaving is Loving - Quadruple Rictameter
Leaving
Means great heart ache
Airports, tarmac tail lights,
Tight throats, misty eyes, - wave fare well!
Soldiers embrace loved ones, to leave for war,
Mom, dad, honey please write to me!
Tears flow abundantly,
So bitter is
Leaving
Good bye!
A heart break word!
A word so prevalent
In Christian vocabulary,
Missionaries leave to toil far from home,
To teach the lost and help the poor,
All of them know this word;
And heart ache of
Good bye!
Leaving,
Good bye mother!
Carpenter wipes his hands,
To go out to the world and teach,
“Anybody who leaves all for my sake”------
Or “Behold mother, your new son”----
Trails stained with farewell tears,
In scripture and
Heart ache!
Leaving
Why? - why leaving?
Jesus did it Himself,
Pilgrims are meant to be leaving,
And march forward towards eternity
Passing pilgrims hurt but
Good-bye and farewells are
See you again
dear One!
