HERE IS A TRANSLATION OF THE POEM RECITED: Should friends from the past be forgotten?And will it never come to mind?Should an old acquaintance be forgotten?And days of a long time ago?For old long ago my friend,For long days past,I will always know you by your good heart,For long days past.So here's a hand my friend,And put your hand in mine,Now I take you through memory lane, From yesteryear a long time ago. We both met at school,And we both had a few interactions here and there.And they were significant, so they were worth it, For days of yesteryear a long time ago. I remember the day you came back from defending your bachelor's degree project.You had smiles, and your cheeks were radiant! "No questions asked!" I remember your cheerful declaration, Àdùní.And alas! It has become a good memory of yesteryear a long time ago.And you will surely raise your glass,For I will certainly raise mine,And we'll have a drink of kindness yet,For days of the past, For old long ago my friend,For long days past. I will always know you by your good heart,For long days past. ~The poem recited was written by me. It was inspired by the popular poem "Auld Lang Syne" attributed to Robert Burns. I found the poem in a book that was gifted to me, which is essentially a poetry collection titled "Great Poems" which was compiled by Kate Miles.
