[align=center][div style="width:455px;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt"]For Mrs. S.
Goodness speaks well within you.
You may fail to see it, or even refuse to do so, but that is okay.
Just breathe and know your presence radiates the light
so many people seeks to have nowadays.
Unforgiving darkness dwells in the edges and corners of the world.
While some of it even lives beneath your mind,
you are still capable of shining through the days and nights,
and there is what one calls strength in that.
Your name speaks resilience, as it sparks hope all around.
Hope for there will always be a rainbow after a terrible storm.
A moment worth waiting for in the end.
Motions done and words uttered with soft care
and a starry desire for everyone to be at peace with each other,
most importantly, breathe and remember
your benevolence shapes your presence
as a gentle reminder that there is still goodness in this world.
For Mr. C.
Words spills from your lips,
and, always, are they crafted in silver serenity and great gold kindness,
as beauty hides beneath their coats of honey and milk
you are so willing to share with the world where such action barely exists in.
Together, does confidence and creativity run wild within your veins,
guiding you to reach for joy and freedom among you and beyond.
No demons should hold you back,
as especially no kind of yours should drag you to the oblivion.
When in doubt, let people know you are the man with iron bones,
and also the man whose heart are made of flesh.
Let them listen to how your heart can still beat love despite it all;
no metals can make the heaven itself sing when it only brings chaos—
they sound just the same as the cries of war and vengeance.
A teacher, a friend, a husband, a father, a protector, and a lover,
you are what is defined a blessing overall.
( Amen. )
