This poem below is by Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore and is a reflection of what my dad would wish to say to everyone now. At every turning of my life I came across Good friends, Friends who stood by me Even when the time raced me by. Farewell, farewell My friends I smile and Bid you goodbye No, shed no tears For I need them not All I need is your smile If you feel sad Do think of me For that's what I'll like When you live in the hearts Of those you love Remember then You never die.
