Goodbye for Now

by Joanne Bessom

Before I leave
Before I go
I have something in my heart
That wants to show

It's a thank you that comes from within
It's the gladness of being Friends
It's a tear that comes to my eyes
As I now say my goodbyes

It's the three thousand miles away that I'll be
Learning about life and having an opportunity
But it's the knowing of coming home again
To see you all my Friends
To share with you the places I have seen
What I've done and how it all has been
