The Q-Tips are a reminder <br />That you always have my ear <br />The tissues are here just in case <br />Our parting brings a tear <br /> <br />The Kisses show my affection <br />And I have so much for you; <br />The chocolate is required <br />For the days you’re feeling blue. <br />(AND, of course, we know it’s good <br />For happy moments, too!) <br /> <br />The mirror holds an image of <br />The one I hold so dear. <br />Look upon it knowing that <br />My love is very near. <br /> <br />The red hots should remind you <br />Of the Arizona heat, <br />The candy scorpion simply means <br />No more stingers in your feet! <br /> <br />I hope that all these little things <br />Will bring you grins and smiles. <br />Remember the distance between us <br />Is only a matter of miles. <br /> <br />(2001)<br /><br />Linda Coker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-goodbye-kit/
