God gave us life to prosper,
to grow and live and learn,
But what we acquire,
and gain on earth,
is up to us to earn.


Many plant seeds of knowledge,
to grow and thrive, anew
But watering them,
and nurturing them,
is truly up to you.


Then we create new life,
our children, the fruits of our love,
and we are all connected,
supported by God, up above.


So each time we give of ourself,
to help each other grow,
Remember those things connect us,
to the LOVE...
GOD wants us to know.


This poem is dedicated to the Anne Fitzgerald School Council, and the entire Anne Fitzgerald School Family.
