I heard a tale today… 

I heard a tale today that I hoped wasn’t true… Someone said you’re leaving, and now I’m feeling blue. 

So many years of long talks, aimless wanders, and having a blast… Who will I look to now to find all those laughs? 

You left without a word, without a whisper, or a nod… You left and sent the mention like tossing seed out on the sod. 

I’m left with so many questions, doubts and disbelief… Yet, maybe you had to take that exit to get some relief. 

I’ll choose to not be angry or hold onto any hurt… For many friendships have seasons, and others take deep root in the dirt. 

I’ll take my cares to the One who knows how to heal… And let all the rest blow like dandelions in the field. 

8/7/25 – MG

You will go out in joy
    and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
    will clap their hands.
¹³ Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.

Isaiah 55:12-13
