Sorpresa

It was the surprise no one expected
To say goodbye so abruptly
With out warning, she left…
Traveling to a new place with out telling anyone

Who knows who she would see
What she would do
Or who she would talk to

But she went
Her words were simple
Behave and be good
With that she was gone

Those who heard about her leaving were stunned
It was a blend of shock, surprise and even sadness
They knew she wouldn't come back
She didn't want to

Perhaps that's why she decided to go early morning
Without out a fuss
Without a sound
She tiptoed quietly to meet with fate

They went together…
So as she looks back at those pictures
She wonders–does she ever hear
When they're calling out to her
In their sleep wishing she would come back…
