... as I sail away ...

The time has come
      for me to set sail
            on a new and peaceful journey.
As I set out
      I look back and smile
            and fondly remember the good times we've shared.
I hope you too
      will keep those memories close to your heart
            and cherish them as I do.
Do not mourn as I sail away;
      I will always be near in thought and spirit;
            This is not good-bye, simply 'so long...'
And like the rising swells and the ebbing tide
      My life has come full circle;
            I am complete.
So, look for me on the ocean
      riding eternal waves of happiness,
            travelling onwards on a new journey.
The sun on my face,
      The wind at my back ...
                              I am free.
