Another Goodbye

What fault is it in
the Human condition that brings us to this,
Time and time after time?
Like Groundhog day?

We’re no less sincere,
It is no less heartbreaking, no less futile,
Still unnecessary
These evil acts.

Another time, salute,
Say goodbye dear bro, dear sis, be on your way,
Then double your efforts,
Double your love.

Hello. We meet again,
Another goodbye, and another sad grave;
We swear to do better,
We swear our love.

Another together,
Another “Nearer to Thee O God” we come,
Cling nearer to each other,
And God beseech.

Another time and place,
Another sad goodbye to another good old friend,
And who can we blame but
Illness and age.

Until we meet again,
In another time and another place,
Beyond these old bodies,
With our old friends.
