Going Home

Forty years a long time, fading memory a sure sign

Walking on a thin line, a recalling act so fine

On Prize Giving Day this year, accolades to hear

To ably steer with courage, without fear.

School Board upon stage, turning of a new page

Giving out prizes as high performers come to stage

Founding Principal and his Deputy being honoured, for their devoted duty

Plaques given out for their ability, for gaining high quality.

Chairman of the Board an old boy

To be so welcomed, what a joy

A full turnout with a welcoming shout

With no doubt of what this is all about.

Some old boys and girls as staff

In these time a challenge quite tough

Drawn by a higher call, prepared for any fall

Dedicating service to all.

Treated as a very important person

Awakened to a humbling mission

Transport to and fro

To those with me my head I must bow.

Like going home a deep feeling, in anticipation reeling

Early years of toil recalling, sinking in its full meaning

A gift of a lifetime, recalling an earlier time.

Human bonding more valuable, never will wobble

Firm and stable, like a table

All for one, one for all

Every day I answer to this call.
