Departure

I will
Be
Still
And
Not
Reveal
My
Sorrow
As
You
Leave
Tomorrow,
No
Matter
What
Folks
Think.
Dear
Friend,
You
Shrink
Away
From
Love
Like
Startled
Water
And
Nothing
I can
Do
Will
Get
You
Through
The
Maze
Of
Days
To
Come.
Follow
Your
Dream,
Though
It
May
Seem
Elusive,
And
Mar
Your
Image
As
Exclusive,
But
I suppose
You
Know
My
Door
Will
Never
Close.
