The words you have preached
have been branded.
Make us ponder
learn.
And
as we look up
at you,
you don't realise
who we look up to.
Your spirit
has influenced ours
in ways unimaginable.
You are
what you have produced:
Respectful tots,
responsible minors,
rigid adults.
We spread your
inimitable wisdom,
so well-earned.
Forever in your debt,
forever you linger
forever appreciated
forever remembered.
