Goodbye

by Jane Paton
(Colorado)

When we met we were quite lonely
Away from family and missing home
We found a group who became friends
We thought it would be to the end

We laughed and loved through college years
Little knowing that graduation would bring tears
Our time has come to say goodbye
And today we know we'll cry

But tomorrow I will lose my fears
And have a smile from ear to ear
As I recall the things we've done
Together, the four of us as one
