Goodbye to Charlene

Mahmood shares with us his reflections on Charlene's departure from MRCF in September, as her graduate placement with the Mentoring Project drew to a close. He speaks for all of us!

The disappointment is adorned with hopes
Like the night wind blowing softly
It makes me sad to miss the gentle smile
The pains of leaving fall heavily on the heart
Now I am forced out of the old way


The old friends and familiar places
Are left behind like a moonless night
The past days and vivid memories
Come to the soul like masked shadows
Now I am forced out of the old way


The worries of success or failure
The loneliness of the mysterious path

Memories of the past days are telling of
This eternal and cruel change
Now I am looking for a new way

Farewell to the small room
And the nice company of the place
Farewell to the ways I walked
In the morning and back each day
Now I am looking for a new way
