Farewell

by Natasha Aguilera

Let love set wind to your sails,
Due North to meet your friends in the clouds.

However brief life is,
we cherish the memories we made,

And we know you’ve made many.

We’ll keep them safe for you,
The hard and the hardest,
The good and better,
And the best.

We’ll keep all,
And bring them back to you.

Farewell.
