The petals bow in sorrow

As the bluebonnets feel the weight

Of the droplets that the sadness brings

From the rain that won’t abate

The lightning flashes and the thunder roars

The trees nod with the blow

The birds won’t sing and the crickets are still

What is this that they know?

It’s farewell to the Bellas!

They’ll be traveling many miles

That means that we’ll be missing

Una’s magic smiles

And Gabbi’s angelic visage

Luigi’s know-how at the grill

Angelo’s blessed demeanor of calm

Eli’s overwhelming horseradish thrill

The trucker…giggling Liam,

Whose patience was so tried,

And the loving, fatherly discipline

That Leonardo deftly supplied

The skies of Hill Country Texas

Are cloud filled now, indeed

With the sadness of seeing them go

While wishing them…Godspeed!

Come back, soon, Bellas! You’ll be sorely missed!!
