Sometimes you have to leave to thrive;

Your pathway takes a new direction.

Don’t worry, we’ll survive!

Take the steps away and feel satisfaction.

You leave behind smiles, confidence, and joy;

Little faces and heads crammed with more.

Systems you have fixed that once did annoy;

You did something many did adore.

You made a difference and thanks for that;

Many things changed, this much I know.

No farewell gift, leaving card, but one caveat:

Here you’re living in your Mum’s shadow.

All the best for the future!
