For Rozanne

On this very last day
In a small but special way
I wish to express my gratitude
tinged with dismay
for Rozanne is going away
 
From the start of Two Thousand and Eight
All the way to this month of May
We have known each other
for more than 365 days
It is my honour to say
The happiness and help
she brought to me etches
a picture that never fades
 
In tender, cheerful eyes
I see support and guidance
Leading me to success
Her gentle mouth pronounces
With elegance and grace
A language so-called harsh
 
When I saw her tears
on that ever-smiling face
My heart filled with sorrow
I am sad over her loss
Her encouragement with a smile
always cheered me up in style
 
Although I speak in simple phrase
I write from my true self 
to compose this heart-inspired verse
to celebrate all the joys we shared 
and shall continue to cherish
 
So, may I say to you
my very sincere message
No matter where or whenever
There is always a student
from St Marys, please remember
with love and respect for you
and that will never change
