Revel in the moment! It's well earned.
Enjoy the praises of your many friends.
The people of the place you've so well served
In joy and sorrow see you on your way,
Rejoicing with you, though they'll miss your grace.
Each gift of love is in Time's memory burned,
Music that for much can make amends,
Enduring pleasure that is well deserved,
Now bittersweet on this, your farewell day,
The shared hug that ends your long embrace.
