Saying goodbye to people and places Each farewell, a surreal reality Where the sorrow of parting Ebbs and flows like the tide My life once rooted in the ground of predictability Now races along the road of mutability Catching me breathless  At each bump, each bend, each turn Desperate, I reach for Him Then, a well of joy, peace, and faith Springs up within  As He assures me, this is His Way Bumps, bends, and turns Sorrows, losses, and tears Yet also His Promise of Unbreakable love Everlasting covenant Never-ending life And in that moment, I know He is my Home
