Between true friends, there is no goodbye.

Time To Part Ways
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Goodbye my friend, it's time to part ways,
But don't be sad for there are brighter days.
The memories we've shared will never fade,
Our time together I would never trade.
This is not the end, but a new start,
As you leave a new journey you will chart.
May success and happiness come your way,
Each and every single day! -
Good-Bye to a Friend
Poet: Frank Earl Herrick
With real regret we say, Good-Bye,
Pleasant face and merry eye,
And voice of rippling song,
With that sad sinking of the heart,
We have when Summer's birds depart,
And swiftly southward throng!
And as the Sun's receding rays,
Bring us the melancholy days.
Of buds and birds forlorn,
Your going hence has brought the drear,
Days of the yellow leaf and sear,
And meadows brown and shorn!
But in this hour disconsolate,
By faith and hope upheld, we wait,
Well knowing as we do,
That though the Winter linger long
The Spring will come on wings of song,
With violets and - you!
Oh, sweet and fair and full of cheer
And pleasant was your presence here
In now departed times,
And may the years before you be,
But days and nights of melody,
As sweet as silver chimes! -
There Is No Goodbye
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011
There is no goodbye, only hello again,
There may just be a time in between.
I cherish our time my friend,
I will miss you, that I mean!
I would prefer not to say,
Words that have such an ending.
For our time together
Never required any mending.
Time apart can be sad,
I will miss you I must admit
Saying goodbye just makes me mad
Our friendship we have, we both commit.
So let's never say goodbye, only hello again,
We will keep in touch, by phone by mail
We will see each other again so let's not complain
We will learn about each other's life in detail. -
God Bless You

Though it brings a heavy heart.

And though we part, our bond endures.
I'll cherish the memories that we made
Our time together I would never trade.
As we go our separate ways
May God bless you, I pray. -
On Your Birthday

Goodbye, dear friend, though distance does us part,
On your birthday, a flame burns within my heart.

Our bond remains unbroken as the brightest star.
Through changing seasons and passing years,
We share a blessing with no tears.
So here’s to you, my eternal companion and true,
Today and always, forever in view. -
Goodbye My Friend

Goodbye, my friend,
Our journey together comes to an end,
Our memories I'll forever cherish,

But I know that you'll be shining even out of sight.
So farewell, until we meet again,
Our friendship will always remain.

Goodbye To You
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011
How do you say goodbye,
To someone as sweet as you?
I never thought this day would come,
That farewell would feel so blue.
I will miss you when you're gone,
I will miss our laughs and cries.
I will miss everything about you,
Even your unhelpful advice.
We've had our highs and lows,
And we've always come out on a high,
It's just too bad that now you're leaving,
And now we have to say goodbye.
I hope one day to see you again,
As I am feeling very blue,
So here I am to say good-bye,
Don't forget me, I won't forget you. -
See Ya Soon
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
As you leave for new horizons,
My heart cannot help but ache.
Our memories will be cherished,
A bond we vow to never break.
Though distance may keep us apart,
I pray your journey brings success.
Goodbye is not what we say,
See ya soon, brings less distress. -
Good-night, Good-bye
Poet: Dora Greenwell
Say not good-bye! dear friend, from thee
A word too sad that word would be.
Say not good-bye! Say but good-night,
And say it with thy tender, light,
Caressing voice, that links the bliss
Of yet another day with this.
Say but good-night!
Say not good-bye! say but good-night;
A word that blesses in its flight,
In leaving hope of many a kind,
Sweet day like this we leave behind.
Say but good-night! Oh never say
A word that taketh thee away!
Say but good-night!
Good-night! -
A Friend Like No Other
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
As you pack up your bags and leave,
I'll try not to be too sad, but I'll grieve.
You are like a brother,
You're a friend like no other!
Don't forget to send me a postcard or two,
From all the amazing things you're going to do.
I'll miss you more than words can express,
A friendship like ours is hard to suppress! -
Friends Forever
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Throughout our days a bond we forged,
Through trials faced and unspoken words heard.
Though paths may part and distance be declared,
The essence of our friendship will endure.
For friendships true, unwavering yet strong,
Embrace the echoes of memories gone long.
And though we bid farewell on this day
Friends forever we will stay.
