Good Bye Poems & Thank you, gratitude Poetry

IT'S OK

It's ok
we have to let you go
after such a long time
which seems as though it's just a shortwhile ago.
It's ok.

As you go
it brings pleasant memories of all we did together
and how we loved each other.
We sang,played,danced,spent a lot of time together
laughed,joked with each other.
We even argued,disagreed and quarelled
but one thing was sure
we all wanted each other to move forward
and so we forgave each other.
Remembering all this brings joy
but mixed with sadness.
Hmm,Beautiful and handsome faces going away,
no more hugs,handshakes,smiles nor encouragement
regularly from you.
It's ok.

Even for those of us
who just came in contact with you,
we are happy to have met you
but you are leaving too soon.
The short time we spent with you is something
that will be longlasting.
As you leave,
we don't know how you feel
but we surely feel nostalgic.
Hmm,so it's true you are really leaving us.
It's ok.

It's painful.
We are trying to hold our tears
and hide our fears.
We don't know how we will go from here,
but God who helped you will surely help us.
Bye,Bye,our dear friends.
It's ok.
