Good Response
Remembering through the years,
A welcome to the country of Canada.
An invitation to the theatre,
Special days at a friend's house.
A school choir and "Long Time Ago in Bethlehem",
Days of leadership and honorary crests.
Graduation with classmates,
A beautiful dress sewn by my grandmother.
Secondary school years and choir,
Religious songs, my favorites.
Tennis games and beautiful swims in the refreshing swimming pool,
A friendship with man that is forever kind.
The athletic team,
Where you are appreciated.
A gathering of friends at a summer cottage,
Where man is a philosophical companion.
A yearbook where you are profiled as an achiever,
Graduation where you stand proud amongst your peers.
With respect and honour,
The beautiful fashionable gown to complete an education.
The college years where you are chosen,
Teaching Certificate a blessing from the Lord.
A marriage proposal and years blessed as a wife and parent,
An honorary Teaching Certificate, thank you upon retirement.
The blessing of friendship and companionship,
With your loving relatives through the years.
The piano concerts at the senior teas,
Simply recognized and appreciated.
Poetry accomplishments beyond comprehension,
William Shakespeare my favorite companion.
To be there with this esteemed scholar and writer,
To have published a book.
The Lord's miracles continue,
Many are the blessings of God.
