A Grand Farewell Poem by Mausumi PramanikMouSun

A Grand Farewell
Mausumi Pramanik(MouSun)

Your final preparation is over
You are now ready for your mission
Don't look back in anger… my dear
It's the time for concentration,
So…move forward with a firm vision.

Look at the sunshine…
It brings smile on your face
Look at the drizzling showers…
It's onlyGod's blessing, I guess
Look at the southern breeze…
Touchesyour hair with cheerfulness.

See…what the flowers of your garden are saying…
See…the yellow birds on the top of the tree are singing…
See…the tides of the stream are encouraging…
See…the greyand muddled cloud is praying…

All of them wish you a good luck and a safe journey.
Success will be at your footsteps without any doubt.
If you have that much of pride without envy.
If Youhave so much spirit mixed with a joy to mount.

Now it is the moment of saying goodbye to all,
We, all are gathering here, for a grand farewell
The deep blue sky with the glittering stars…
The green valley and the rocky hill with little grass…
The small cottage around your territory…
And of course…me…, your love… without worry…
Will have been standing…here…at the same place,
Will have been waiting for your homecoming
Afterwinning the bout, the life-race.
So eliminate the fear… have trust on your fate.
Come back, my love, Come back soon…Don't be late.
