My pal since the sixth grade

Has a big golden statue in his own back yard

As golden as his heart

Aaron Micah Posner

Farewell

Friends, I bid you farewell.

For seven years I have accompanied you,

Relying on your kindness

I shall carry with me the hope, that

you, my friends

the ever-favorite object of my heart

will invariably be models of courage and fidelity.

After 18 years of my life, I can say that

With friends such as you,

I will never cease to view

These latter days

as my days of prosperity.

Adieu, my friends. Would I could press you all to my heart.

The above poem is a mixture of two historical speeches, those being Washington’s Farewell Address and Napoleons Farewell to the Old Guard.

(P.S. I left the last poem that I had at home, it’s a hard copy. Sorry!)
