I Wish You Enough

Saying good-bye to a friend
can sometimes seem unfair,

one tries to express things
that shows that they care.

So I'm tackling this task
even though it's quite rough,

I won't say, "good-bye"
but, I wish you enough.

I wish you enough sunlight
to lessen your pain,

and to enjoy the sun's grace
I wish you enough rain;

I wish you enough happiness
so you'll enjoy every mile,

with just enough sadness
to appreciate a smile;

to satisfy your "wants"
I wish you enough "gain",

and I wish you enough, "hellos"
for when "good-byes" just remain;

we make friends in a minute,
within an hour, know they're true,

so, it only took me a day
to know, I'll never forget you !

Doc, I came back to read this, and just my personal opinion take it or leave it but I felt the 10th stanza should be the ending. See what you think~ ______________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous
