We Don't Want To Say Goodbye
It’s that time again
You have to leave
We embrace briefly
We look at each other
And smile
I feel the tears
But the smile stays
Those tears - always the tears
I don’t want her to see the tears
We’re still smiling
We turn around and walk away
The words never came
They never do
So much I want to say
It’s not goodbye
Not really
We’ll be together next year
The time was precious
I love you
I love being with you
The unspoken words
Are said in a parting gift
From you to me
My wonderful flowers
You know me so well
I will care for them
I will love them
I will look at them
And think of you
And smile……
To my daughter, with all my love always...

The agony of goodbye and the promised joy of reuniting.
"Parting is such sweet sorrow."

So eleoquently put Will, I know there should be no sorrow when you are fortunate enough to be able to look forward to being reunited, but it's not easy!!! Thanks for dropping by, I value your comments as always.
I hate to say goodbye to tulips. They are a beautiful spring flower. But it seems they come and go so quickly. But I look forward to seeing them next year.

Hi Mimi Thanks for stopping by and liking!
Saying goodbye is so difficult, especially to your daughter or son. You never know if its the last goodbye.
You have captured that feeling beautifully.
The words never came
They never do
So much I want to say
Oh, I know this feeling so well.
Thank you Movie Master, I look forward to reading more of your hubs.
Hi Fennelseed, we have had to say goodbye so many times, yet it's just never got any easier! thank you for your words and dropping by, take care.
Oh you are so right movie master we sure have the same thoughts when it comes to our children. A beautiful poem with much heart. Thank you. I look forward to reading more.
Sunnie
Thank you Sunnie, yes I think we definitely have the same thoughts where our wonderful children are concerned, we are so fortunate! see you soon.
Hi Movie Master,
This Hub really hits home. I've said this kind of goodbye to my son when he moved to California (I live in Kansas) and I didn't know when or even IF he'd be back at all. Turned out okay. He moved back to Kansas before his classes were done and he finished up here at home. (:
I feel for ya, duckie. I really do.
May peace be in your heart...always, even when you and your daughter are apart.
Diana
Hi Diana, bet you were glad you have your son back in Kansas. Your words are lovely, thanks for dropping by my duck and see you soon!
Beautiful poem.

Hi Little Kim, it's nice to meet you.
Glad you liked it, thank you for visiting and leaving your comment, take care.
You're welcome!!!
Very beautiful poem.I love it.
Hi fashion, Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for your visit and comments.
What a lovely poem about something that most parents have to experience. i've got one daughter in her own place but her sister has concreted herself into the floor of the front bedroom and looks set for the long haul (bless her). She's only 21, so i'll keep the crowbar in the tool shed just for now. Cheers
Hi attempted humour, since my daughter emmigrated we only see each other about once a year now, don't think I will ever get use to it, she's happy though and that's what really matters.
Sounds as though your daughter will be around the place for a while yet - enjoy!
I appreciate your visit and comments, take care and see you soon.
Very beautifully written poem, loved it
Hi Sweetie, thank you for visiting and your lovely comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it, best wishes I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Movie master , How is it the greatest words of love are never spoken .....But they are always heard clearly , I heard you here and I could see you leaving!....Awesome.
Hi ahorseback, how true, the unspoken words of love are loud and clear.
I always appreciate your visit and support it means a great deal to me thank you. Take care.
such a wonderful poem..you must be a good mother.
Hi Prashant, thank you again for your very kind comments, I am truly blessed to have a wonderful daughter. take care
Yes, sometimes saying goodbye can be supremely challenging. Often we will say 'see you soon', or 'see you later' instead to save the finality of a solemn goodbye. Nice hub.
Hi Phil, I think we should always avoid the word 'goodbye' it's too final.
Parting can be so difficult especially when you don't know when you will meet again.
Thank you for dropping by and your comments, it's much appreciated, take care.
Great work MM, lovely and awesome. Voted up and awesome
Hi ubanichijioke, thank you for visiting and your kind words, I hope all is well with you, take care.
MM, you and your big heart! What a great poem. It is never easy to say goodbye. Over the years growing up. it was always one after the other leaving, almost makes you feel it is unfair, but that is life. I really enjoyed it. Voted up and across.
It's always a joy to see you TLW, it's tough saying goodbye and letting go, as you say 'that's life'
Many thanks for your comments and votes, hope you are enjoying your day, take care my friend. MM
Great writer, unspoken love is the norm for today, we love our kids but as they get older we may not tell them like we did when they were little. Same goes with other special people in our lives. I was reflecting the other day and realized that I loved everyone from my past, I thanked them in my mind for being part of my life and the gifts they gave to me.
Hello carcro, maybe we just don't say 'I love you' as often as we should...
Thank you for dropping by and your comments, it's much appreciated, best wishes MM
Hi MM, its indeed a very sweet poem. Very very well written my dear. I love it.
Voted UP & Awesome.
Take care. Best Wishes.
Hello Kamalesh, I almost didn't recognise you when I saw the new profile picture!
Thank you as always for visiting and your great complimentary comments, I hope all is well with you my friend, take care and best wishes MM
With a farewell to make next April I enjoyed your article. I simply don't know how my husband and I are going to cope. Having to move away from where my children and two grandchildren live is beyond me.
Thanks and I hope you can adjust to your daughters move.
Hi Ladylyell, after saying goodbye I use to say to my daughter on the telephone I couldn't say all the stuff I wanted to say, now we just say that it's not necessary we know all the 'stuff' - that helps!
Thank you for visiting and your comments, I hope when the time comes to say farewell, it won't be too painful, best wishes MM
Beautiful. I felt this way everytime I visited with my grandparents. In the back of my mind, I always wondered when we said goodbye if it would be the last.
Hi Lynn, it's never easy to say goodbye....
