2. Farewell My Cherished Colleague
   
   Farewell to my cherished colleague,
   It is time that you must part;
   The sadness I feel we barely can broach,
   We shared so many experiences from the start.
   
   Your leaving makes me ponder and wonder,
   Wish you all the luck in your future endeavor;
   Learning and growing with a new venture is an honor,
   Still your absence will leave a bitter taste forever.
   
   Goodbye for now my dear comrade of office space,
   Till this world again bring us face-to-face;
   I shall bid farewell with hearty blessing,
   Safe travels and the best of everything.




3. All The Best
   
   Goodbye, we say with heavy hearts,
   In our work environment, you played a special part!
   No more will you be by our side,
   A new journey you now must ride.
   
   Though it breaks our hearts in two,
   We are so happy for all that's new.
   We'll miss you dearly, every day,
   All the best is what we wish - good luck on your way!




4. Goodbye My Coworker
   
   Goodbye my coworker, oh the pain that ensues;
   For our office will never be quite the same
   Never again will we have our coffee chats around the water cooler
   Or laugh together over a meme some random user shared above.
   
   Our lunchtimes were filled with stories of other days,
   Might now ever serve to entertain.
   But all hope is not lost; for we shall still stay in touch,
   If only within a cramped, virtual space.




5. Going To Greater Things
   
   As we part and go afar,
   It brings me sorrow and pain.
   You've always lit up the room,
   Your presence felt in the air – in vain.
   
   I wish I could see your warmth,
   Your smile always shone so bright.
   Without you, it will all change,
   An empty place left requires a light.
   
   But I shall carry on with a smile;
   Though my heart may break apart,
   For I know you’re going to greater things -
   You will be dearly missed and forever in my heart.




6. My Coworker, My Friend
   
   My dearest coworker, my friend so true
   Our conversations always had something new.
   The days at work, how can I forget
   The ringing laughter and no regrets.
   
   Tomorrow you'll say farewell at last
   We have fond memories of the past.
   You may not be there but I'm sure that's fine
   For I know you're ever strong in spirit and mind.
   
   Though our conversations now must be limited to a call
   Your heart and presence we'll still feel after all,
   We wish you all the best, we will miss you
   But we know success will be found in what you do!







7. A Joy To Work With You
   
   Dear colleague, it was such a joy to work with you day by day.
   You made the office atmosphere more light, in every way.
   No task seemed hard with a team like this, I must confess.
   Your enthusiasm and dedication took away our stress!
   
   But now the time has come for us to part ways.
   The office will be dull without your sunny days.
   Your new employer is lucky to have found you,
   But your leaving makes us feel blue!
