Farewell

Cross this bridge as you go,
the road is long, the way is slow.
Do not forget my dearest friend,
I will be waiting at the end.

Ease I cannot guarantee,
the way is blind so learn to see.
Hardships litter the winding path,
the skies are dark and full of wrath.

Your heart will be your only guide,
I am no longer by your side.
Dismay, torture, deepest sorrow,
consume yesterday and tomorrow.

When the sun shines look ahead,
let it lighten your heavy tread.
Don't lose faith, don't give in,
and use your confidence within.

The hills are steep, the journey tough;
the path is difficult and rough.
You might stumble, you might fall,
rise again; give it your all.

Begin this quest, go with love,
I will be watching from above.

Cross this bridge as you go,
the road is long, the way is slow.
Do not forget my dearest friend,
I will be waiting at the end.
