Plus - Appreciation

Dear Sir – you were Principal, and friend

S. G. Samuel

’Tis three months since you said goodbye,
Leaving friends and all quite stupefied;
No use, though, to heave and sigh,
For ’tis Nature’s law we all must die,

But you left us so very suddenly –
We knew not of your malady;
If only we had shown we cared,
Of this great grief we would be spared.
Helping hand you lent to foe and friend,
In times of grief you gave us strength;
Dear Principal, Sir, our mentor, our friend
How sorely you are missed, words cannot tell.

Teachers and students of Majeediya School Male
