Goodbye

Today we said goodbye, through tear-streaked eyes,
We miss you so much already.
Though we never even met.
I stroked your hair and kissed your brow,
I didn't want to leave your side
Your body jumping with sadness.
Goodbye my dark-haired son,
So ravenous, so full of beating heart.
Goodbye my fair-skinned girl,
So delicate and whispering.
We watched and waved as our dreams drove off,
With a toot of the horn they were gone.
But this isn't goodbye for ever, its only a short farewell.
We'll meet again someday soon,
And I'll hold you in my arms, weeping tears of joy.
Then I got you back, your softly tired face,
Looking nowhere in particular.
I saw you so strong and brave,
It made me love you even more.
