Farewell to the most memorable period of my life!

Farewell!

As we travel Life's weary journey,
And plod through the gathering years,
With our burdens of care and sorrow,
O'er a pathway bedewed with tears.
If, perchance, for a fleeting moment
Our hearts should with rapture swell,
We have added but one more sorrow,
When we bid the glad time "Farewell".

I have watched the bright dawn awaking,
And noted each changing light,
As the sun, in its morning splendour,
Dispelled the dark gloom of night.
I have welcomed its bright rays stealing
Over hill-top, and wood, and dell;
Yet, my joy was alloyed with sorrow,
As I bade the bright stars "Farewell".

I have seen the red sun descending
To its home in the glowing west,
Whilst the tremulous voice of nature
Was solemnly lulled to rest.
I have welcomed the stars, appearing,
And greeted them one by one,
Yet, my greeting was toned with sadness,
As I said "Farewell" to the sun.

When we welcome the summer sunshine,
Farewell to the flowers of Spring.
Adieu to the fruits of Autumn,
When we welcome the frosty king.
Good-bye to the joys of childhood,
When vigorous youth appears;
Then - a season of strife and turmoil,
And - farewell to the vanished years.

I am sighing a farewell message,
As I sit in the gathering gloom.
Farewell to all earthly sorrows,
Then - rest, in the silent tomb.
Farewell to the trees, and flowers,
To mountain, and stream, and dell,
Farewell to the glorious sunlight,
To the moon and stars, "Farewell".

-Thomas E Spencer



A few more days to go to bid farewell to the most valuable and cherishable era of my life. Life was truly wonderful for the past 4-5 years in Aftek. I have learnt a lot many things in these years. Made many friends ( and maybe foes too ). All of them have enriched my life with everlasting knowledge, about career, life in general, even office politics :) !! But the most valuable gift these last few years have given me is my identity. Well, with a very heavy heart I am saying adios to all these; As they say, kuch paane ke liye kuch khona bhi padta hai! But I am sure lessons learnt here will keep guiding me in the next innings of my life! And definitely, I will cherish all these beautiful moments for years to come.
Farewell dear Aftek!
