Sometimes what we get
isn’t what we deserve
I will never forget
how well you worked and served.
There’s no need to fret.
As I know you haven’t.
It seems you lost a bet.
Now I’m surely saddened.
With troubles, you’re beset!
Problems of a system…
You stand tall and reset,
like a program within a rhythm.
From the day when we first met
to now: this parting one…
It isn’t over yet.
But barely just begun…
May your appetite stay whet
with new joys and with wonders
you certainly won’t let
yourself be deterred by these blunders
Our country will regret
pushing you away…
I know your path is set,
but I wish that you would stay.
