no regrets
you wonder if your days were well spent
you now challenge your own decisions
you regret what seems in retrospect, too little
you have helped make the world grow kinder
you have taught tolerance, compassion and duty
you have shown that faith requires integrity
i learned from your teaching, and your example
i see your attentions in each of my intentions
i am steady because of your ever present love
ever we live between yesterday and tomorrow
ever do the generations send forth their dreams
ever will kith and kin, extend those gifts in turn
may your many past days bring you satisfaction
may your many future days bring you challenge |
