'Where Is The Good in Goodbye?'

This poem, from McKenna Marvin of Fairport Harbor, Ohio, includes lines to be savored and remembered.  Like:  "Where is the good in goodbye?" And:  ''Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye."  McKenna is an eighth grade student at Fairport Harding Middle School.  Thank you, McKenna! 

For my best friend

This is dead end

Joy and happiness, god may send.

I Cant imagine departing from you

You have given opportunities for me to do

I will always love and miss you too

I don’t want to admit that it’s the end

But I will never forget the times we shared

Whatever happens, I wish the best for you too.

The hardest part of a relationship is saying goodbye

No matter how bad you want it to stay the same

Change is always possible, you have to accept the change

Remember me and smile, for it is better to remember and cry

Where is the good in goodbye?

And why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye.

Now that the end is near

We reminisce old memories

Even on worse times.

Farewell to all my loved ones

For it is not the end of everything

I might not be here, but you’ll always be in my heart

Don’t cry, for this is not the last time we meet

We will always remember each other

And cherish every second together.
