Bye For Now

Goodbye seems so final – seven letters in a row,

“Bye for now” feels better – this I do know.

When parting ways from this earth or simply for the day,

Bye for now is comforting – that I must say.

Bye for now provides a chance to meet again somehow,

To give or get another hug – that time, it will allow.

Bye for now offers hope to all the ones we love,

That simple phrase might be a gift directly from above.

Days can feel oh so long, but years are short indeed,

Ask anyone who’s lost a love – “Just one more day,” we plead.

All the memories in our hearts, tucked away, we keep,

Special ones leave a mark, one that’s surely deep.

So, let’s not say goodbye.  Let’s change the way we part,

Let’s say, “Bye for now.”  It’s softer on the heart.

Whether it is in a text, long e-mail, or note,

Let it be remembered – bye for now is what we wrote.

Or when our time on earth has met its final date,

It’s bye for now, not goodbye – see you at The Gate!
