Goodbye Hello Renee'

I am blessed to know thee,

Oh blythe spirit.

Thou hath spread thy wings

and flown again.

And circling will find another

place to light and sing thy song.

From which I may again take joy in hearing

and learning that which thou may teach

through thy eternal wisdom and fire

that resides within thee.

I for one will miss thy smile and the light

in thine eyes; and the flowers that bloom

around thy feet as thou pass by. I will miss the

birds that sing around thee all the while.

I know thee now and forever,

My dear friend Renee'.

Return soon and again bless us with thy smile.
