We are the Future


We are the future, you will not live to see

We are richly invested, by the wisdom of your years.


We are the sprouts, the new growth, the shiny green leaves

We hold your hopes, your dreams and your fears.


We will strive for a future that is richly blessed.

For we are the young warriors, and we will not rest.


We cherish the values, in that we are one.

We will not rest, until our day has come.


So sleep now, rest, tis your reward.

We honour your memory and strive to move forward.
