A happy goodbye,
To a valued colleague,
Adventures will satisfy,
His zest for intrigue.
Not to taint the moment,
With sadness or regret,
Just an upward ascent,
Of deadlines, not to fret.
Look forward to the prospect,
Of plausible chances,
Crossing paths to connect,
As life slowly advances.
A willing participant,
He used to be in all,
With laughs, he can enchant,
And, in life have a ball.
Missed he shall be,
As he crosses the sea,
Welcomed he will be,
Back here, if he needs to be.
Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have such

for your colleague
you've just mentioned
I've become addicted to rhyme
Better stop while there's still time
It's hard to rhyme in poetry, but you've done such a wonderful job with this. So many great lines.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say hello and let you know I enjoy your poetry.
