I took you to the airport <br />As we waited for your plane <br />The thought of you leaving <br />Almost drove me insane <br /> <br />But deep inside I knew <br />This was something you must do <br />I almost held back my tears <br />But soon they started falling for you <br /> <br />I stood there as you boarded the plane <br />I watched it go down the runway <br />While I hurt deep inside <br />I know for you it's a happy day <br /> <br />It's your chance to make a new start <br />A chance for you to be you <br />To do the things you want to do <br />You're ready to start your life anew <br /> <br />As the jet roared down the runway <br />A smile came to my face <br />I was not glad to see you go <br />But I know you'll be in a happier place <br /> <br />Your leaving one life behind you <br />Looking forward to a new one to begin <br />It makes me happy just knowing <br />That you and I will never have an end <br /> <br />I'll always remember you as the one <br />Who came along and mended my heart <br />A heart that had been broken and torn apart <br />Because of you, a heart given a brand new start <br /> <br /> <br />4-14-06/RJH<br /><br />Ray Hansell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-new-beginning-4/
