You ask why I forgot to mention your name,
That was my failure, my mistake, my shame,
But it taught me a lesson, to love and respect,
To cherish every person, and never neglect.
If you love from the depths of your mind,
My name will appear, not leave it behind,
But you continue to do what's normal,
Leaving me feeling quite informal.
I promised to be your last single flag bearer,
To pass your ideals through generations, forever,
Let me live my way, let me love,
And you also give your love, without a shove.
Once again, you show your greatness,
Your generous heart, your leadership qualities, endless,
And I grow older and lower my head in respect,
For your love and care, I'll never forget
Lessons in Love and Respect
