Stand TallYou taught us how to stand so tall, To rise through every rise and fall. With grace, you faced life’s stormy days, A steady hand, a guiding gaze. Though now you rest in peaceful sleep, Your love and strength in us, we keep. You showed us courage, heart, and might, And through your example, we find light. In every challenge, in every fight, You stood with honor, strength, and right. Now, as we face the world ahead, We carry your spirit, your words unsaid. So, we’ll stand strong, just as you taught, With every lesson that you walked. Though you're gone, your love remains, And in our hearts, your strength sustains.
