Valediction

Goodbye good friend!
Let it be no teary valediction.
For I want to see you smile
Like we always did everything,
With spirit and amazing style.

Goodbye good friend
Do call or drop a line.
About things special and generally fine
In moments of repose
When you ponder and wistfully smile
On thoughts of an old ally.

Goodbye good friend
Bid adieu.
Before I become blind.
Before mist in my eyes,
rolls on your cheek to say goodbye.

Goodbye good friend.
Divine blessing godsend.
So long! Till we meet again.
Years later…
In the longing lanes of nostalgia.
