Fare thee well...A tribute to my batchmates!

See-offs are worse, but even goodbyes are hard to say
Heavier becomes the load, with each second's delay
In my throat, I feel a lump swell
As I say these parting words, fare thee well.

Moist lashes hold back the flood
Clenched fists reveal nails in blood
The loss i'll try to hide, but my eyes will tell
As my heart moans, fare thee well.

Crying clouds shower goodbye kisses
I feel the pain in wailing wind's caresses
In the distance, I hear the VT bell
Hark! Even He is singing, fare thee well.
