It's always hard to say goodbye
But easier with company
Then if you have to stop and sigh
There's someone there to stop and see
If you're OK. Without that, who
Will be there with concern and trust
To make more definite that you
Will be OK? And is it just
To ask for sympathy from those
Who do not know the situation?
No, it is better to enclose
Yourself in loving saturation
Filled with loved ones, so you all
Can say goodbye and bear the pall.
