A Time to Say Goodbye

                                                     

To each of us

there comes a time

when an action

becomes right:

a time of birth,

a time of death,

of sadness, or delight.

The clarion call

to fall in love,

the urge

to change direction:

a time for each choice

to be made

as we strive for perfection.

For me

the hardest time

of all,

no matter how I try,

is when the clock is still,

and it

is time to say goodbye.
