Please God forgive a silent tear,a constant wish that he was here.Others were taken, yes we know,but he was ours and we lovedhim so. He bid no one a lastfarewell, nor even said good-byeHe was gone before we knew itand only God knows why. If all the world were ours to givewe’d give it all and more to see that loving face of his just once more. For those of who havesomeone who means a lot, treasure them with care.For you never know their valuetil you see their vacant chair.~Unknown Author

Our Beloved Teachers
“Thank you, my teacher, for being thereAt times when skies were grayThank you, my teacher, for lending an earWhen I had things to sayYou showered love on me lavishlyWhen no one seemed to careYou brought me joys untoldTo fill my heart with moments of goldI would have felt isolated and lonelyIf you had not been thereI lack the words to let you knowHow much you mean to me,But I will profusely thank God for youUntil the Eternity.”
