Linda
Do you know
How much you are loved
Appreciated
Seen
Yes we see you
We're blessed to know you
The woman behind the joyous smile
The one who goes beyond the extra mile
You are so rare
Truly a wonderful gift
You have a way, you cause perspectives to shift
You understand
change can't always be swift
Persistence
Purpose, a gentle word
You recognize people's need to be heard
On wings of understanding you fly like a bird
True kindness
Permeates your being
You have a special way of seeing
The world we live in is in need of care
True change happens by becoming aware
Yes one person can make a difference
Small changes add up over time
With knowledge as your tool you redefine
Re shaping the outcome line by line
So as you leave
We shed a tear
Yet thankful for the time that you were here
You gave your all each day and year
Through loving example you were our mirror
Go to your garden
Explore your passion
From the ground a future to fashion
The planet and bees can use a lift
What you have to offer is a priceless gift
For our friend Linda, happy retirement. Now your work begins.
We know you will continue to make a difference in the world
and in our lives.
