Happy Graduation Tika and Sarada!By Sister.Gemma

We are gathered here tonight to celebrate
Tika and Sarada-two lovely gals first rate!
Our parish can brag from the day's beginning to end
To have the Giri family as newcomer and friend.
With Ron and Ruth as guides for you and for us
They kept us on track-with very little fuss!

You girls are gifted and your talents are many!
You sing and you dance the Bhutanese way plenty!
Now Will and Anee would like tyo take a chance
To learn your moves and experience a little more romance!

Now that you're out and want to be on the road
You had to learn the secrets of our driving code.
With Eugene as your teacher and Paula at prayer
A great combination-no need for despair.
You gave Eugene the shivers-but he's still alive,
And you now have your PEI license to drive!
The world is your playground-drive carefully each day
As you discover Canada both here on the Island and far away.

You girls arrived in Canada,you never looked back
You've learned the language-no words do you lack.
You 've studied and succeeded in Colonel Gray style
Your education will take you forward for many a mile.

Our church at St.Francis is very proud of you
And we wish you the best in whatever you choose to do
You made it this farwith attitude and good cheer
May your family and friends be the gifts you hold dear.
Happy Graduation-We love you,Tika and Sarada too
May you grow into women-happy,healthy and true!

HAPPY GRADUATION GIRLS!!!
