SEE YOU!

So, another day has passed away

Another blue sky has turned gray,

Tomorrow I may not be here,

My poetry will light your way.



This is how my life has been,

And this how I have 'seen',

The passing shows of a moving road,

Leading me on to my distant dream.



Sometimes I stop and wonder why,

Time stays not and loves to fly,

Why the unknown makes us meet one day,

Know each other, then say; "Good bye."



We don't know we shall meet again,

Don't know we shall be the same,

But the bond we form by that warm handshake,

Is a bond that's destined to remain.



So, as I leave, I promise you,

A time will come when I and you,

Shall talk a lot of all these times --

The times we meet and say: "See you!"
