Well Noted

The leader of the band

Plays his farewell concert.

Many instruments directed.

Millions of notes played.

Do not play sad chords;

His music is not done.

Many students learned;

His song plays on

Kids learned passion

to dance and play in notes,

To feel the bass,

Love the rhythm.

Through the melody,

Life lesson learned.

Music touches the soul,

And he touched the heart.

So, Strike up the band

And play a joyful tune.

We celebrate today

The Crescendo of career

Play loud and strong

As he did in class.

Forever music plays

For this well noted man.

Wild Flower

Good things come in small packages

so doth the saying go.

Somewhat appropriate, yet lacking depth,

don’t you know

when speaking of a black diamond girl

of five foot or so.

She races, dances, and speaks as if someone

hit the nitro.

Hair all a tumble, eyes of sparkle bright

is this little dynamo.

Energy and attitude tumble together;

her aura, electric rainbow.

Tender soul and fierce heart with lightning

they did sew

creating a lively, wild and beautiful flower

to erupt and grow.

There

There.

Beside.

Comfort,

Secure,

A shoulder,

A hug.

There.

Together.

Smile,

Laughter,

A moment,

A joy.

There.

Behind.

Courage,

Daring,

A push,

A cheer.

There.

Ahead.

Opening,

Shielding,

A teammate

A guard.

There.

Now.

Then,

Always,

A confidant,

An ally.

There.

The best

Word

That

Describes

A friend.
