This is not a verse of rejection Here you won’t find anything averse It is just one last interjection Mere words of gratefulness And vowels and consonants of joy So many days filled with pleasure The reading and writing The lilt and slant of so many voices. Taking the time to hold a moment Of what is in another’s mind and soul A great ‘thank you’ to all who read and write In the early morning or late at night - There are always comings and goings The happy greetings, and sad goodbyes - But this one here is a fare-well-farewell A bright wish of the Muses’ blessings For each and everyone! The time has come, my wings grown strong Unfold and stretch to carry me on As I fly away that wish will stay:

Happy Writing and Keep Up the Good Work!
