Swiftly we get driven away
By our life’s journey
This time you’re packing up and leaving
Such feeling of excitement and joy to move on
But its heart wrenching
To leave behind those beautiful memories
And the people you’ve
Bonded so well with
Over the years
Those ardent goodbyes
So hard to say
You leave with all these good memories
Like a beacon on the horizon
Everything about you is just amazing
Your humility
Your wisdom
Your kindness
Your smiles
Your bright ideas
Your energy
Your positiveness
Your confidence
Your enthusiasm
Your great leadership qualities
Through example
A great motivator
A good listener
The skills and knowledge you have imparted
So invaluable
Everything about you we will treasure
Under your care and guidance
We have flourished.
We’re eternally grateful for
Everything you’ve done
We’ll surely miss you
As painful as it was, it’s time to bid you
Farewell
We wish you well
