Goodbyes of New Beginnings

Some goodbyes are difficult to render.
Some goodbyes are no goodbyes after all.
Some goodbyes are signals of new beginnings.

We knew there would be a day to say it.
We knew there would be a season for the reason.
We knew we would all part ways soon.
We knew we have to prepare to sustain.
And we know we will still miss you.

But lest did we know it would soon be time.
Lest did we know some of you will slip away with the sunset of 2019.
Lest did we know that these goodbye strands were necessary for a newer beginning.
Lest did we know that 2019 would soon expire.

Today, your family & friends wail,
Today, your workmates & classmate weep,
Today, your loved ones & well-wishers grieve.
But tomorrow they may heal and continue to live.
Tomorrow, we will adjust and relive the essence of life while reaching out to others.

As we reminiscence memories of this decade.
As we remember encounters with stunning souls, we have a duty to prepare for tomorrow.

Some goodbyes are in themselves new beginnings we have to explore.
Some goodbyes are an invitation to make the best of this moment and to enrich our future with solutions.

Thanks for being part of this decade.
Thanks for your efforts this year.
Thanks for your readiness to live in the future.

Greetings from me to you.
