New York, NY, January 05, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Jac Winters, a loving husband and father who spent almost three decades in the trucking industry, delivering goods and services to North America, has completed his new book, “To Say Goodbye Again”: a powerful collection of poems that explores the emotional range of the human experience.

In his titular poem, “To Say Goodbye Again,” author Jac Winters writes,
“You lost them all in a blink, left || standing, not knowing what to think. || The only one left—it just isn’t fair, || your mind heavy with the burden. || ‘I’ll lift it, dear child; it’s not yours to share.’
“You want to take their place, just || so, in transition, you can see their face. || That’s not in God’s plan; He never made you || strong enough to bear the weight, || even though you think you can.
“They’re all gone, and here you stand, || with begging eyes lifted skyward, wishing. || Rain crashing down to the ground, || your mind plays tricks—they’ll be there, || just turn around.
“Your stomach aching from what you miss, || with a Southern drawl you hear in the tree, || a serpent slither and crawl:
“‘They’ve left the poor boy, no medicine will fix this,’ || he said with a sly hiss.
“Heart heavy, soul lost, spirit worn, || no need to worry, my child, they’re not so far, || even though you think they are. || In this life, you feel so mixed up, || it doles out so much, it runneth over...that cup.
“In this life, you’re tossed about, || you want to be stronger, you think someday || you’d have more clout. || In this life, we’re left feeling empty, || maybe it’s the feeling the reaper left || after his swift, cold entry.
“We want to put it all back in place, || hide the yoke of loneliness, || even though to others our sadness || shows upon our face. || I want to say goodbye again—oh, || please, with tears streaming down my stark face. || I want...to say hello again?
“No! I want to say goodbye again, || because we know it has to end. || Time is our enemy, not our friend. || To my good friends who took their life, || they were so empty; there was nothing left. || Just a ‘hole’ where he built ‘you’ one day || and in it placed all your parts, || one of them was a soul.
“Dear God, I pray, let me see them one more time, || to walk through those big wooden doors || when the church bell chimes.
“My arms long to hold them, hug them, || love them, see them play in the grass, || just to have that one last chance to get my fill, || to see them all together in one special place. || With joy, I would shout; I would spin—what a thrill!
“But when you say goodbye one time, || it cripples even the strongest of man. || I’ve made you sturdy enough for one such blow as this, || so even if you prayed with all your might || to have one more dinner at candlelight, || another boat ride or paraglide, || to live, to laugh, to cry with all of them by your side.
“Even if you mustered all your strength, || or conjured up every ounce of will to pull you through, || to say goodbye again would kill you.”
