Lights taken too soon

Leaving empty rooms

And our aching hearts

Mourning in the dark

What lessons we learn

Too soon was your turn

Your lives so giving

Your joy we’re missing

We must carry on

Even though you’re gone

We carry you both

Your memories close

So much learning yet

We will not forget

To cherish this day

In our memory

Teachers never leave

Even though we grieve

You inspired us

And your students much

Your work immortal

A memorial

They’re your masterpiece

We will never cease

Honoring you, sirs

Beloved Teachers
