The wooden aroma of time-stained pages
Breathe life to shadows of golden ages
They tell of stars observing our lands
And brilliance that shaped such minds and such hands
With passion, adventure, deep hunger, resolve
Sought knowledge and power no time could dissolve
True faith and virtue, bold science and arts
Our foundations were dreamt in the most stalwart of hearts
Their soundtrack is us, this life as we know
Alive and exploring all life has to show

As births of new babes, in love so conceived
Live lives unchosen in this moment received
Their chapters will blossom in solitude souls
To discover their reasons and magnificent roles
Each life is a treasure by choice and design
A legacy made before that hour resigned
Let's inspire each other, let's cherish this gift
And break all difference that cause us to drift
Our personal story will never repeat
But find rest in His Story, a journey complete.
