People may enter our lives through many different doors 
Some stay forever, while others only pause 
Did they happen here by chance or was it really fate 
Their impact is not always known until a later date 

Some accept the loss, while others continue to feel pain 
We need to reflect on the positive in order to see the gain
 

Our children leave eventually and go their separate way 
After having explored a bit they might come back some day 

Often we will connect with that special love or friend 
It could last forever or have an unjust end 
A sudden departure may signal a change has just occurred 
It may trigger sadness and leave our vision blurred 

Understand that sometimes separations might be for the best 
True love and friendship can endure emotions greatest test 

Just say Adieu for today, there is no need for blame 
Special people will remember more that just your name 
Should they not return, understand they still may care 
Remember life is always changing, not everything is fair
