About the Poem

My poem is about someone I loved very much and lost in a car wreck. Saying good- bye to someone can be the hardest thing to do. A loved ones death is the hardest to cope with, especially a boyfriend. I know that he is in a much better place now.

Dedicated to Larry

Saying Good-bye

Sitting here thinking about you,
I here you call my name,
Laura, Laura, Laura

As I turn to see who's calling me
I see no one, only hear your voice.

I glance across the room,
To see if anyone else hears it too.

But no one seems to notice the look on my face.

I miss you so much,
I keep telling you,
But you don't seem to hear me.

Still you're calling out my name, only louder,
As the tears rolled down my face,
I glance around the room,
And see you amongst my family, and friends
The look upon your face says you're peaceful now.

I realized it was time to let you go.
Although I will always love and miss you.

I turn my head to see if anyone notices you.
Then I turn back, and you're gone.

I hear you, so very gently say,
"I love you", "Good- Bye!"
"Bye", I said . . .

My husband passed away 9 months, and I have struggling to find just the right words to help me thru this grieving. This poem brought instant tears. Your words about "family" hit me the most. I have 5 kids, and my husband, John is missing from all our holidays & b'days and our 17th anniversary. I feel him near me at times, I know he's watching after us, but I miss him so much. Thank You for your beautiful poem. God Bless You. Debbie

This pome has touched my heart. Because I had a son to die 7 years ago, and I tell him that I miss him so much. I wish that I could hold him one moor time. His name was James. I found this pome because I was looking for one to put in my story about him we had to do a saying and then relate it to our life and this is the one I chose.
