"Good-byes"
By Nancy Fraley

The saddest word,
So often heard,
In years gone by,
Has made us cry.

It makes tears flow,
Like none I know;
Loved ones part;
It breaks the heart.

Children and mothers,
And many others,
Must sometimes cry,
As they say "good-bye".

One day 'twill be
We'll be so free
From this old earth,
In a brand new birth.

No more sorrows,
Only glad tomorrows;
God will wipe each eye;
All pain will die!
