Bill and Shobha had to go, but
We will not forget them.
They might just reunite with us
If circumstances let them.

Shobha charmed us, every one,
With her open heart,
And Bill, with mental exercise,
Tried to make us smart.

We speed them on with thoughts that they
Should all their dreams attain.
We wish them health and safety
And hope soon to meet again.

Friends will leave, and friends will join
As seasons go and come.
Wanderlust may split us, but
Community lures us home.
