Dear friend 🧑‍🤝‍🧑,

🌊 What is this, our life?
🚣 A boat adrift on the sea —
and all we know for certain is that one day,
we shall capsize. ⚰️

Here we are, two good old boats ⛵⛵
faithful neighbors 🌅,
and your steady hand 🤝
has often kept me from tipping over 🌀.

Let us voyage on 🌍,
each for the other’s sake ❤️,
for a long time yet ⏳ —
a long time! ♾️

We would miss each other so. 😔

Calm seas 🌤️, good winds 🍃,
and above all — sun ☀️ 🏝️ :
what I wish for myself, I wish for you too 🙏.

And forgive me that my gratitude 💐
can find expression only in such a wish ✨
and has no influence
on wind 🌬️ or weather 🌧️.

Your devoted friend,
