Coach James M. Kirton - October 2005
The sea is a wonderful place to be,
to view the sights that the sea birds see;
Such as the reefs where broken ships lie,
beneath the waves, beneath the sky.
And when the wind blows fair across your quarter,
you begin to leave the land's vast border.
Thus my friend, you shall meet the sea,
above which the lonely sea gull soars;
its plea heard only by those who care to listen.
With the coming of sunset the waters glisten,
with red and orange colors from a pastel sky.
Alone on the beach stand a man and a child,
who looks up to the man with eyes asking why.
The man points his finger to the pastel sky
and says to the child, "Tis where the answer does lie."
Next they turn and walk away,
as the touch of soft darkness covers the bay,
beginning the night and ending the day.
In Memory Of
The entire span of our lives is usually represented in the obituary column by a small insignificant dash or hyphen that appears between the date we were born and the date we die. That small dash encompasses a lifetime of hopes, dreams, aspirations, our humanity, the way we lived, and the assistance we gave to others while we could. The length of the dash is the same no matter the number of years we lived, no matter what we have, and no matter who we are. Our years on this earth should be measured by quality rather than quantity. It is our hope that the dash represents the good things in your life and the happiness you give to others while you are with us.
