Gather the stars if you wish it so gather the songs and keep them. gather the faces of women. gather for keeping years and years. and then... loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye. let the stars and songs go. let the faces and years go. loosen your hands and say good-bye.

More From Carl Sandburg

If we wish to have the light, we must keep the sun; if we wish to keep our forests we must keep our trees; if we wish to keep our perfumes, we must keep our flowers- and if we wish to keep our rights, then we must keep our god.
Flower Rights Light
This is a lifetime of good-byes. in our time, we will say good-bye to cherished people, things, and ideas. eventually, we say good-bye to life itself with our death. learn to say a good good-bye. allow yourself to mourn each loss. as with a physical wound, the body has its own schedule for healing. it will tell you when it has healed.
Healing Loss Ideas
That's right. you'll like owl. he flew past a day or two ago and noticed me. he didn't actually say anything, mind you, but he knew it was me. very friendly of him. encouraging." pooh and piglet shuffled about a little and said, "well, good-bye, eeyore" as lingeringly as they could, but they had a long way to go, and wanted to be getting on. "good-bye," said eeyore. "mind you don't get blown away, little piglet. you'd be missed. people would say `where's little piglet been blown to?' -- really wanting to know. well, good-bye. and thank you for happening to pass me.

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.
Stars Light People
You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
Memories Eye Passion
I was trying to feel some kind of good-bye. i mean i’ve left schools and places i didn’t even know i was leaving them. i hate that. i don’t care if it’s a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye, but when i leave a place i like to know i’m leaving it. if you don’t you feel even worse.

Goodbye Saying Goodbye Soul
Twenty-year-olds have a kind of emotional idealism about relationships and about the world that enables them to say, 'no, you lied to me. goodbye.' when they see wickedness, they walk away.
Goodbye Emotional Years
The idea of forever is kind of ridiculous, which is unfortunate because its kind of a nice thing to say, you know. i think it softens the blow of mortality and having to say goodbye to everything you know and everyone you love and all that kind of thing.
Goodbye Nice Thinking
When i create characters, i create a world to inhabit and they begin to feel very real for me. i don't belong in a psych ward, i don't think, but they become very real, like my own family, and then i have to say goodbye, close the door, and work on other things.
