Leaving

A poem dedicated to Zoe. She is now leaving her current job, in which she has helped both myself and my son during 2013 to survive, what has turned out to be, the worst year of our lives.

Leaving.

When pastures new with fields of green
    (and nevermore old views be seen)
Are for all good or full of strife,
Then look and see the peace of life.

When moving on and learning more
   (that which we never learned before)
Feel no sorrow, nor despair
No worry, or apprehensive care

You'll shine as bright as in the past

Your star will shine and ever last.

Author's Note

It seems my poems are much the same, but I always think in this way. I wrote this when Zoe told me of her departure, and I realised just how much my son and I have to thank her for.

This is beautifully uplifting. I loved these lines:

Feel no sorrow, nor despair
No worry, or apprehensive care

You'll shine as bright as in the past

Your star will shine and ever last.

We are better for the friendship, love and experience and those starts certainly shine bright long after evening has lifted.

every where the same, the poet is optimistic because where ever we are the God is there.

These are positive words assembled with love and no small dose of creativeness that I'm sure are deserved. Zoe must really be special.

Thank you Samuel, Zoe has been a special person for my son, at a very needed time of his life. A professional with that something more....

A great poem of appreciation to this wonderful person or Samaritan and this is your token of gratitude to him, her...Bravo

[Daffy]

Thanks Sami. Zoe is a 'she', a professional, but not a Samaritan. Thanks for the review. I welcome your comments.

[Sami Khalil]
