Goodbye for the last time

Goodbye for the last time my mother of stone
Farewell those within you as well
Goodbye to my friends, connected in illness
Live long lives and get yourselves well

Goodbye to the nurses with whom I made good friends
And laughed with for many a day
Farewell to my friends, not just nurses any more
To people I prayed would never go away

Goodbye to the laughter, the family fun
Goodbye to the tears and the joy
Dysfunctional family coping best as we could
Goodbye to the girls and the boys

Goodbye to my primary nurse smiley and kind
Who\'s words were so full of wise things
Goodbye dear natasha, I hope we meet again
You made me laugh, made me smile, made me sing

Goodbye to dear hannah, who\'s kindness outshone
Those who I\'d met in old places of ill
Farewell to our late night games of guess who
Your smile kept me sane, cured my ills

Goodbye to sir andy, my associate nurse
Whos writing was witty, made me laugh
Goodbye to your jokes and your smile and your games
What do I have to remember you all? Not even a photograph

Goodbye to the care team who worked oh so hard
And gave me the push that I need
Farewell to you all, all the best and farewell
I wish all of you to succeed

Hello to my new life, my hospital school
Where I will make new friends I hope
Hello to the teachers, the learning and help
Hello to the new ways to cope

Hello my dear jessie, whose company I have missed
I can\'t wait to spend days with you again
Hear you laugh and remember our true happiness
Be together and help cure your pain..
