“Farewell My Friend It was beautiful as long as it lasted The journey of my life.I have no regrets whatsoever save the pain I’ll leave behind.Those dear hearts who love and care…And the strings pulling at the heart and soul…The strong arms that held me up When my own strength let me down.At every turning of my life I came across good friends,Friends who stood by me,Even when the time raced me by.Farewell, farewell my 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 do think of me for that’s what I’ll like when you live in the hearts of those you love, remember then you never die.”
— Gitanjali Ghei
