Our Hearts Grieve
In Memoriam– Totem ‘61
Our hearts grieve, dear brother and trusted friend!
Good sails will carry you forth to Elysium, we pray!
Your counsel we shall miss but it’s not the end
Together, we’ll be again; we look forward to the day!
Our hearts grieve; but we rejoice when we recall memories
Of our times as young men in our dear Alma Mater;
When we were Super Men; we faced the stiffest breeze
Never mindful of realities that’ll come much later!
Our hearts grieve; as we reminisce about the good times
That we spent at the eight steps of the Alphan Corner
Our haven and sanctuary; when we were in our primes
Singing, laughing and carousing as if we owned forever!
Our hearts grieve; and yet our spirits rejoice
For we know you lived a life, relevant and meaningful
You have mentored some of us when we were mere boys
For the legacy you have left; we’re forever grateful!
Yes, our spirits rejoice; we view your life and celebrate
You’re the beacon in a lighthouse, to most a role model!
Welcome to Elysium; the rest of us will have to wait;
But our hearts still grieve; as we bid you farewell!
