A goodbye poem

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

Ini hari-hari terakhir mereka di bumi Uncle Sam

Dan cerita-cerita tentang hari-hari terakhir mereka

Hanya terbuka untuk kami simpulkan

Hanya tertulis untuk kami sampulkan

Lakaran kisah terbentang untuk kami kumpulkan

Biar tersemat erat dalam ingatan

I said, stay

When the word 'goodbye' is the hardest to say

The memories we made are unfinished masterpiece

Of true love and friendship

The overwhelming pain of watching you walk away

We carry close to our hearts and will never fade away

Thank you

For the expected unforgettable hello and warm welcome

That make us feel exactly like home

Thank you

For the soft touch and magnificient love that unconditionally

Allow us to call you 'family'

Thank you

For thr ups and downs of friendship we had which we

Could never afford to trade with diamonds and golds

Thank you

For the laughter and smile that make it hard for us

To say goodbye

It's a bittersweet goodbye and we're not gonna cry

Cause the memories we had together will always keep us forever

P/s: A poem made by a friend of mine, Ras. This was dedicated to the graduating seniors of Winter 2014. I read it with Ben, my emcee partner for this event. For sure, we are all going to miss all of you guys.
