Poems from the heart series #4

Yours is the face that launched a thousand deeds,
Yours is the bearing that kept us on our feet,
Though you be no Helen of Troy,
You build young lives while she destroyed,
Though you be for ever taken from our sight,
In our minds, hearts, and souls, you leave your light,
Though the rudder be taken from our ship,
We shall soon another find but none as hip,
For you taught us that our tomorrow and today,
Shall for ever triumph over our yesterday,
Your gungho spirit in our psyche lives,
We must for ever troy and troy and never give.


This poem was written on 17/4/2004 as a tribute to Miss Moey Yoke Lai, with cherished affection.
