As you start your new adventure
With hope, excitement and longing
I wonder about that greener pasture
And the dreams it might be growing
And as I muse, reflect and ponder
I settle with but one impression …
Whatever dreams are there and yonder
Are worthy of pursuit and possession
Please know of my sincere affection
For all the kindness shown
You steered me in a new direction …
A mentor, none better have I known
Your support so kindly imparted
Will be both missed and treasured
Lovely, generous and kind-hearted
A friend by whom friends are measured
I wish for you happiness and health
Amazing travels, both near and far
A future filled with such joyous wealth
But for now, my friend … Au revoir
