I stand before the sea of life,
Counting all the waves gone by,
Waves that made my heart so light,
Waves that made my life so bright.

The years gone by have left a mark,
The years to come can never mar,
The beauty of these years to fly,
Surely my stars in the clouds of sky.

Now I stand before the shore,
The shore of life which has in store,
Joy and warmth mingled with grace,
The journey of life yet to race.

This is my time to say Thank You,
To all my friends who stood me by,
I pray to God, the Lords of heaven,
To relieve them all, of all their burden.

I hope to see their faces with smile,
As they move along many a mile,
This is my wish in thousand fold,
To all my friends as good as gold.
