A note from our heart



Upon these dales
We were one feather,
On a long flight being together,
In search of grains of life.

Upon these branches
We were one long chirp,
One melodious song is a harp,
In search of fountains of life.

The streams yonder,
The fields are ripe and evergreen,
Those teeming winds,
And those harvesting seasons -

These were our endless meads,
Our throbbing heart,
Our happy days,
And treasured moments for the future.

Now, after a long season,
You are leaving these beautiful dales.
In search of further sights
You are preparing for a long flight.

It will be a long miss,
The dales have fallen into silence.
Beyond yonder hills
It is all a vanishing trail.

Here, within a veil of mist,
Melodious days return to our thoughts.
Here, within our diminishing circle
Your association returns as an endless whisper.

Graceful was thy benevolence
Fruitful was thy whole endeavor.
Peaceful was thy very presence
Cheerful was our clan without a peer.

And our clients are blest,
Your services are the best.
Our words are really honest,
Amongst us, you are a beacon of light.

As you leave these dales
Our hearts are deep and silent.
We, standing in a single file
Pray you a sojourn full of bliss.
