SO THIS IS WHERE WE PART, MY FRIEND,
AND YOU'LL RUN ON AROUND THE BEND, GONE FROM SIGHT, BUT NOT FROM MIND,
NEW PLEASURES THERE YOU'LL SURELY FIND.
I WILL GO ON, I'LL FIND THE STRENGTH,
LIFE MEASURES QUALITY, NOT ITS LENGTH.
ONE LONG EMBRACE BEFORE YOU LEAVE. SHARE ONE LAST LOOK, BEFORE I
GRIEVE.
THERE ARE OTHERS THAT MUCH IS TRUE, BUT THEY BE THEY, AND THEY AREN'T
YOU.
AND I, FAIR, IMPARTIAL, OR SO I THOUGHT, WILL REMEMBER WELL ALL YOU'VE
TAUGHT. YOUR PLACE I'LL HOLD, YOU WILL BE MISSED,
THE FUR I STROKED, THE NOSE I KISSED.
AND AS YOU JOURNEY TO YOUR FINAL REST, TAKE WITH YOU THIS... I LOVED
YOU BEST.
