A friend leaves to fly
To a new world he goes
We who are left behind,
morn and sing.

He who has left is happy
To start a new and different
A place to make and friends,
not yet met.

Those of us who are still here
Remember the fun times and talks
To an empty place in our hearts,
we silently cry.

He is not dead, only far away
In a new building with a new job
With this we rejoice with him,
for he is at home.

To a friend going to Short Hills
