Passing

by Bryce Main © 2010



There are
So many things
I want to say and do
Before I say goodbye
to you

I am
Not ready to
Relinquish all that I
Hold dear

Not yet…

Not while memory
Still lives
Not while love
Still burns
Not while tears
Still fall

There are
So many lives
I want to touch
So many souls
I’ll miss too much

I am
Not ready to
Relinquish all that  I
Have loved

Not yet………..not……………..

Thank you ladies so much. I don't now and never have considered myself a writer of poetry. But every now and then I find myself writing something that comes close.
Passing is one of the closer ones.......
