Yesterday was a day of goodbyes
Goodbyes are bittersweet
Sometimes more bitter than sweet
Sometimes more sweet than bitter
Sometimes the bitter is
The unwanted leaving
Sometimes it's
The tearing apart of intertwined hearts
Sometimes the sweet is
Extra precious times sharing heart to heart
Sometime it's
The excitement of what is coming next
Yesterday's goodbyes were bittersweet
Definitely more sweet than bitter though
Not because we're happy to leave
Not because now the leaving is real
Rather, our hearts are full of deep thankfulness
For all the way God has lead us in the last three years
For the great number of people God has woven into our lives
For the joy of the family of God
Sweet-bitter, bittersweet
I'm glad this time it's sweeter
And (I hope) when we come back
The hellos are even bettered.
(Mom, with addendum from Grace)
