Letting Go

Absence makes the heart grow fonder,

Or is it more forgetful?

These simple words will strike me

And often pierce my soul.

I wonder if they are really true

And if there's a way to stop it.

Or must I learn to just let go

And see that it is fit?

Change is always coming,

And though I may not agree,

It is a chance to make things better,

It often strengthens me.

But am I strong enough for this test?

To be left here all alone?

Will it give me a humble heart?

Or will it only change it to stone?

This is what I've been called for

And though I may not know,

I will always be given strength,

If needed, to let go.

Letting go's not easy,

But it helps to have a friend.

One you know you can always trust,

Who will stick by you to the end.
