Farewell
Farewell my friend –
We say goodbye, and you to future send
With fond farewell;
A touch of sadness in our hearts
As you go forth from here
And new path start.Of course, you won't be far away from here
But things that change bring changes in their way;
So somewhere deep inside us all
We know you're gone,
And will be ’fore too long.It is a time when all of us look back
To moments spent, when you beside us sat
And held our hands, in grief or terror’s way,
Enjoined with us, with Him to walk each day.Your hands uplifted blessing one last time,
As you brought greeting, words of love, to mind;
Your hands uplifted, smile upon your face –
Into our lives you poured those words of Grace.For some of us, two decades of our lives
Were coloured by your presence by our sides;
We thank you, friend, as we this parting make,
And wish you well, as you of life partake.navigation
