Dear friend, 'tis hard to say farewell, And harder yet it is to tell, In parting words, how strong the tie We sever now in this good-bye. We all shall miss thy gentle grace. Thy willing hand and cheerful face; No other friend thy place can fill. Though absent we shall claim thee still; God bless the work thou hast begun, And guard thee in the years to come. And when thy heart is weary, or alone. Come back and rest in this thy home.

Ever mayst thou happy be, Life holds precious gifts for thee; E'en if now a shadow lay Around thy heart - 'twould pass away. Ne'er forget the friend you leave On Huron's shore, and believe Regretfully I part from thee. Yours very sincerely.

A little work, a little play To keeps us going - and so, good-day! A little warmth, a little light Of love's bestowing - and so, good-night! A little fun, to match the sorrow Of each day's growing - and so, good-morrow! A little trust that when we die We reap our sowing! And so - good-bye!

Reader, "Adieu!" — I will not say "farewell!" That word, full-fraught with sorrow as a knell, Breathes forth a strain of sadness to mine ear, And is too often mother to a tear! "Adieu!" speaks hopeful that we yet may meet And with each other hold communion sweet. If aught that I have said doth give thee cheer I've made a friend of thee — and friends are dear! In this stern world of ours each friend we gain Makes life more sweet, and helps to soothe life's pain! Remember, then, dear friend, before we part, These simple strains are from a glowing heart That seeks to find an echo to its voice In heart of thine — and, finding that, rejoice!

Goodbye are the words we often say When people leave for work for a day But when we say goodbye for forever We realize we are no longer together. Goodbyes can be so hard Sometimes leaving us scarred But time has a way of healing things Life has more hello's to bring. So while you may feel sad today Keep moving forward it will be okay Express your feelings and even cry You will feel better as time goes by.

Why does good appear When goodbye means I disappear What's the good in not seeing you It just means that I will be blue. I think goodbye should drop the good Just "bye" would be better understood So from now on the good is gone And only "bye" will be my song. Leaving Is Sad Poet: Catherine Pulsifer What we had was something unique Similar to a special antique. I wish I didn't have to leave Life without you is hard to conceive. Life without you won't be the same But I do hereby proclaim I wish you luck and much happiness But leaving is sad, regardless.

Come here and take my hand And press my lips, Just for today — To-morrow I'm away; With pulsing heart And quickened feet I'll tread another street; And in the toils Of duty's net I may sometimes forget You for awhile, And this sweet day In life's all stormy way; And oft I'll know The want of heart Again life's work to start, So press my lips Just for today — To-morrow I'm away.

Farewell, so long Means I am gone Today, tomorrow Leaving brings sorrow. See ya around The words they sound Like goodbye I say with a sigh!

Saying goodbye is never easy Actually, it makes me queasy So let's just say see ya later Keep in touch by email or notepaper. Goodbyes seem like the end But we will always be friends We may be separated by miles Just say keep in touch and smile!

Happy trails to you, until we meet again Some trails are happy ones Others are blue It's the way you ride the trail that counts Here's a happy one for you.

Why should I say goodbye, my dear? Why should I say goodbye? I am only going a little way Over the hills, and only a day, Only a sleep, with a dream, and then, When morn breaks rosily up the glen, With blackbird, and throstle, and lark, I'll come again, And wait till the bird of the dark Outwarbleth the song of the lark. And wooeth the moon from the dark, And lifteth our souls on high, my dear: So, why should I say goodbye, my dear? Why should I say goodbye? Why should I say goodbye, my dear? Why should I say goodbye? I go, yet still I'll be with thee, And staying here, thou shalt be with me! Ah ! nought can part us : and when the night Flies from the dreaming rose, and the light Hath kindled in flashes of song, Love in his might Shall fold us from terror and wrong In the murmuring garden of song; For song hath no kindred with wrong, But only with love that is high, my dear: So why should I say goodbye, my dear? Why should I say goodbye?

Now, little children, you and I Have walked beneath the autumn sky; With old Jack Frost in wintry land We've gone together hand in hand. In spring we've plucked the daffodil And buttercup on every hill; And now in summer you and I Must close the book and say goodbye.

My fairest child, I have no song to give you; No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray; Yet, ere we part, one lesson I can leave you For every day. Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever; Do noble things, not dream them, all day long: And so make life, death, and that vast forever One grand, sweet song. A Blessing Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT) May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.

Today I come to say goodbye I will miss you, I can't deny But as I move to another town Leaving you makes me frown. I will stay in touch, I promise that I will call you often and we will chat. It won't be the same I know But we can call and say hello. So I won't say goodbye, I'll say so long You're a friend indeed, one who is lifelong The bonds we share will never break We will keep in touch, of that, there is no mistake.
