FAREWELL

For Carry On Tuesday #50

Don’t be dismayed by good-byes
A farewell is necessary
before you can meet again


THE AGE OF CONSENT

Don’t think I left you behind
Be patient; I shall return
Dismayed, but undefeated
By prevailing attitudes

Good-byes are never easy
A love like ours will endure

Farewell; be sure my absence
Is my punishment, not yours

Necessary rules apply
Before closed minds are opened
You and I hold the key that
Can unlock hearts, to our love

Meet disapproval with hope
Again and again, for love

    Intriguing thoughts here! Especially love "Farewell; be sure my absence
    Is my punishment, not yours"
    That is quite a statement! Great poem!
