What is there to say when someone is "let go"? Through no glaring fault of their own, it is done - in the "best interest" of the organization. Though I understand with my head, my heart doesn't listen ...
They let a good man go today
Sent him off with a shrug and his pay
I watched him struggle to come to grips
As he packed his stuff with taut, pursed lips
It hurts my heart to see him go
For as I struggled, he let me know
That he cared about and for me through
His words and deeds, and others too
Sweet man, now out upon the street
With mortgage to pay, needs food to eat
He finds himself without a job
Less place or purpose, a keyless fob
Be safe my friend, I farewell bade
I shant forget, but memories fade. ©
