Leaving

Sonnet written for a contest

Emotionally you left long, long ago

Already I'm so lonesome, I could die

Why not just leave so you're wild oats can sow

I'll wait 'til a good time to say goodbye

 

"Now the dawn is breakin', its early morn"

And to the porch drawn to contemplate life

There in His tender embrace be reborn

He'll let me understand my role as wife

 

"And hold me like He'll never let me go"

Spirit filled, cup running over, renewed

Ready my life to give a golden glow

From all those years love much love has accrued

 

"Now the dawn is breakin', its early morn"

There's no reason to be at all  forlorn

Author's Note

For this contest, I had to use a song which there were three given and I chose "Leaving On A Jet Plane" done by John Denver..
