People Come And People Go

Here is a poem I wrote a few years ago

People come and people go

Some you just get to know
For just a short period of time
You have the opportunity to work with them
Experiencing extremely unique things abroad
It happens because God choses it to be
This is a wonderful experience you share with them
You get to know them through this experience
As well through the circumstances that God led you to
They are then led to another place
They must go, even though you barely get to know them
It is too soon for them to move,
However this is what they feel need to do

People come and then they go
Sometimes onto newer adventures
Yet sometimes they graduate
From this thing called life

One was in your life
For a short period of time
However in a time
When you need someone
To be there
After you suffer a traumatic injury
He is there for you
During the time of recovery
He then leaves
You show up at an important event
Then don’t hear of him for a long time
You wonder what is up with him
You might run into that person
Maybe a few times but he disappears
A while later you get the news not expected
About how he suddenly dies and goes Home
Even though you saw him around six months ago

People come and then they go
Sometimes onto newer adventures
Yet sometimes they graduate
From this thing called life
