On this grey and cloudy day
With a lump in my throat
And an ache in my heart

We must say Fair well
For it is on this day
That you must return home
Back to the land from which you came

And as I stand here,
Reminded of how much tears can sting
I think back
Back to our time spent together

Thinking of the laughter, the joy,
The sad times and the good times
And I am thankful.
Thankful you chose me to be your friend

A true friend, like a light in the darkness
you were there to guide
Someone I know I can always depend on.

And now as I look forward in my life
I must take the next step alone

We can never say what the future holds
But I hope yours may be filled with joy,
Happiness and laughter
Just like you have brought to mine

So fair well my friend, Safe Travels
I can not say if we may ever see
Each other again.
But I know you have left foot prints in my heart
That will last a life time
