Bittersweet

Done Too Soon

Saying good-by to a friend

Watching her go

Into a grand new venture

In life

Is exciting

And sad

I share her excitement

And I hold my sadness

I will miss her presence

Yet I thrill to her

Adventure

For over two and a half decades

We shared a work space

Shared the joys

The sorrows

The beginnings

And the endings

Through life

There was laughter

And tears

Smiles, frowns

Ups and downs

And now it is

Done too soon

In a blink

It has come

And is gone

We say farewell

But in that word

We stand connected

The friendship

We share transcends

Time, distance, events

We share the same sun

Look in wonder at the same moon

And even though

Time passes

We are not

Done too soon

Travel well

My friend
