Farewell Poem by lalitha iyer

How to say goodbye to you?
Oh my dear year,

I am full of your hours
still living in your bowers
you gave me love, you gave me pain
you gave me hugs, you gave me shrugs too
oh my past year
How to say goodbye to you?

your fruits ripe still i relish
your blooms fragrant and fresh
still I wear in my heart
oh my dear year past
how could i say goodbye to you?

I knelt before you as a babe
you lifted me with your days
and dressed me with your ways
you have gifted me with a heart of love
passing memory deep rooted within
how to say you goodbye
oh my dear year past?

the pepples you dropped rippled my life
the seeds you soiled, gave me spice
now why say good bye oh my dear year
when you breathed into my corpse to see the light of new year...
