Tribute

For the many roles you have played,
For the many lives you have helped to mold,
For the many smiles you have created,
And for the many, many more things to come.

To a teacher, with a passion to teach boys,
To a mother who always nurtures,
To a wife who is and forever committed,
A standard for us all.

For the many years you have graced us,
And for the many more to come,
We want to appreciate and honour you.
Not only for the life you have lived but for
for the wisdom you have gained.
We, as your children, sit at you feet to hear
you as you speak.
