The Teardrop to The Fast and the Furious: Goodbye Scene 
A strange goodbye 
An endless goodbye 


The Teardrop (Italian sonnet)  

A teardrop someone wept alone that night
Was doomed to fade away into the sun
Another day of life had just begun
And tears were things which people hide from sight
-
Two lovers chanced to happen to the scene
A youthful pair who stopped awhile to kiss
But in the air was something gone amiss
A whisper shared a wayward wind did glean
-
She sadly stood and watched him disappear
A heartbeat joined the whisper of goodbye
So strange it was she didn�t even cry
Except one droplet of a precious tear
-
Was fate or stars or wonderment unknown
The lonely tear and precious gem then met
And together Joyous rainbows set
For they no longer had to fade alone


Two strange fates form one ending to this Italian sonnet. Nothing special or hidden in this sonnet. It is just a sweet story set to rhyme. 

When Arlene and I where running the Lodge parties, Walter and Maggie where two of our victims. Walter and Maggie were an elderly couple. They were caught in the magic of our dances from the very beginning. At our first dance, Arlene and I hired a singer who was also a dance instructor. Walter was one of the guys she got on the dance floor. Well all I can say is dancing is magic. Maggie would send Arlene and me cookie as a thank you. Maggie died. After a time Walter came back to the dances in memory of Maggie. There were two other loyal victims of our dances. They had a friend who had just lost her husband. They brought her to a wine trip, Arlene and I had organized and introduced her to Walter. They hit it off. They came to a couple of our dances and strangely disappeared. It turned out Walter was no longer able to drive. He and the new lady got married and moved into the Masonic retirement homes.

Lucky indeed are those who's life turns out somewhat close to what they had planned. Some folks are extremely gifted in planning for the unexpected. Arlene and I were extreme talented in event planning and what to do if and when things went awry. Life is a bit more involved than even the most complex event. It is my belief that no one truly and completely knows what tomorrow holds. I have lived a perfect day. A day when not a thing went wrong, Such things are possible. But that was only one day. When I say life is unpredictable, this can be positive as well as negatives. Good things do pop up unexpectedly. So what do we do? First, know, we are  not alone. Life is unpredictable to others. Most importantly: Trust in ourselves. Know that we can meet any challenge. (Also, regardless of what we are told, help is available.) Life is a wonderful. Unpredictability is part of that wonder. We are part of that wonder. So let us Enjoy.

It can be hard to say goodbye

so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
