Good morning everyone, Today, when we are all here to say our goodbyes & celebrate this

beautiful bond that we share, I am here to recite a few lines. In these years of our lives, our
friends are one of most important pillars of our journey."The dynamic of friendship is almost
always underestimated as a constant force in human life [...], but no matter the medicinal virtues
of being a true friend or sustaining a long close relationship with another, the ultimate
touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self, the ultimate
touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone and the equal privilege of
being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them and to have
believed in them, and sometimes just to have accompanied them for however brief a span, on a
journey impossible to accomplish alone."
So, here are a few line to celebrate this bond that we share with our platonic soulmates. The
poem is called serendipity.

one night a star exploded

and it split right in to two
and each part became a person
one was me and one was you

we shimmered down to Earth

and lived our individual lives
but one day serendipity
decided we'd collide

your face felt so familiar

and every time you spoke
it sounded like a harmony
a song I'd always known

it was like you were an ocean

that I wanted to explore
but the waves I surfed, the depths I swam
I felt I'd swum before

it was just like I knew nothing

and yet everything as well
as if me getting to know you
helped me get to know myself

I think the universe intended

and had planned it all along
to return me to your ocean
to your face and to your song
see, it's not that you completed me
for I was never half
but it seems the stardust in our souls
could not be kept apart.

Moving on, a new chapter, a new journey is going to start in a short while and moving on that
path if you ever feel down Now is the time to go towards your dreams with abandon. Now is the
time to lust towards your goals with fire in your bones and passion flowing through your veins.
Now is the time to let your wonderful and unique true self out... Now is the time to let yourself
shine, my beautiful friends. And whenever you feel down remember,

You may not believe in magic,

But don't you think it strange,
The amount of matter in our universe,
Has never slightly changed,
That all which makes your body,
Was once part of something more,
And every breath you ever breathe,
Has seen it all before,
There are countless scores of beauty,
In all the things that you despise,
It could once have been a shooting star, That now makes up your thighs,
And atoms of forgotten life,
Who've long since ceased to roam,
May now have the great honour,
To call your crooked smile their home,
You may not believe in magic,
But I thought that you should know,
The makings of your heart were born,
Fourteen billion years ago,
So next time you feel defeated
When this world makes you feel small, Just remember that it's part of you,
And you're part of it all.
