Goodbye, good luck and may good fortune be with you and follow you to where-ever to you go <br />I did not know you well only in passing we nodded as we met and said hello <br />I do regret I did not get to know you better though in common we had little for to share <br />We all are different in our ways and thinking a fact of which I am all too aware. <br /> <br />Goodbye, good luck and may you always be happy and may you achieve the dreams that you pursue <br />And may you never know of hardship, want or suffering and may what you wish for out of life come true <br />You are a young man buoyed by ambition one who daydreams of great wealth and renown <br />You crave success in the bigger World out there for celebrity status far from your old Hometown. <br /> <br />At twenty years success at you is beckoning and you want to be known and admired everywhere <br />With local fame you never could be happy success awaits you in the World out there <br />The young do have their daydreams for to follow the ageing have their past for to recall <br />But for the billionaire as for the pauper as we do know there is a final Fall. <br /> <br />Goodbye, good luck I wish you joy and success though I only knew you for to say good day <br />I hear next week the old town you are leaving for a bigger city from here far away <br />Not yet in your prime your best years ahead of you and in life you seem determined to succeed <br />And who knows in the not too distant future of your successess we may hear of and read.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goodbye-good-luck/
