Prompt (for the last day of the challenge): Farewell.
Fare thee well! and if for ever,
Still for ever, fare thee well
- Byron
“Go well,” my friend Maureen always says
instead of goodbye – like a blessing,
the true meaning of “farewell”. I never feel
finality in leaving her, I feel her care for me
and its foreverness. Her words go forward with me,
a mantle of protection. As I travel forth from her
I am warmed; her loving wishes accompanying me
in benediction, and not for that moment only:
Love is my companion, attending all my journeys,
all my dailiness … until we meet again!
