Goodbye

I’m sorry for… What do I say?
Do I even have a reason why?
I’m sure I’ve hurt someone today,
So now I must just say goodbye.

For e’en this ode I apologize,
I suppose I should not even try,
But I say this with much teary eyes
Please forgive, my dear goodbye.

Though I’ve stood upon the things I write,
And in them I’d never imply
That you are wrong and I am right,
So this day I say goodbye.

I only pray others I’ve aided
In a way they can’t deny,
Though my body to you’ll have faded,
My words in mind shan’t say goodbye.

And if it takes a whole life time
For e’en one soul my words to know,
I’ll have done some good within this rhyme,
And to them my essence shall say, Hello.
