"Farewell my Friends"

It was beautiful

as long as it lasted

the journey of my life.

I have no regrets

whatsoever but

the pain I'll leave behind.

Those dear hearts

who love and care

smile, in spite of a

lump in your throat

and the strings pulling

at the heart and soul.

Farewell, Farewell

my family and friends.

I smile and bid you goodbye.

No, shed no tears,

for I need them not

All I need is your smile.

If you feel sad

think of me

for that's what I'd like.

When you live in the hearts

of those you love,

remember then...

you never die.

by Rabindranath Tagore
