Farewell, so long, good bye,
Are sad words that may make you cry.
You may have to leave your homeland,
Bury a beloved relative or a dear friend.

Life will never be the same,
Bereft of their voices.
Their laughter, their name.

You have to grieve in silence,
But keep only pleasant reminiscence.
Farewell, for ever!
Forget you, No Never!
