Remembering The Good

Sometimes we are 

so wrapped up 

in a small pessimistic 

world that we 

focus on the 

good-bye, 

the bitter parting 

that we forget 

to thanks 

the things and 

wonderful experiences

that made this 

farewell so hard 

to do.

My favourite bookstore "The Flying Dragon" is closing at the end of the month, and I'm sad. But reading the sign they put up, they placed a little quote from A.A Milne (the author of Winnie the Pooh) that cheered me up (and inspired this poem) "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying good bye so hard." I really like that quote, as it shows you that we shouldn't dwell on the bad but realize and thank the good. With graduation coming up, I think the quote also fits in quite well with the bittersweet moment of leaving my middle school and going to high school.
