Goodbye



I was all alone, then came into my life
as a friend, as an angel to cherish me.
And stayed for a while and cared me,
then left after leaving me in the wild forest.

I was trying to get back home,
after wondering alone, crying and praying,
I found them on my way and they became my new best friends.
And lead me back to home
of happiness after wiping my tears

Stayed beside me and showed me
the way of life; those angels were
the ones God gave me as my best friends while I felt lonely again.
Leaving the footprints in my mind, they are also fading away.

They also have to leave,
To lead their own life, a wonderful life,
I am letting them leave, with happiness,
with a heart full of thanks and blessings,
for all that love and care after not forcing them to stay.
