WISHING TRICIA FAREWELL FROM ST IPPOLYTS

I attended a gathering to wish Tricia good luck in her new ministry in WGC.  I have written a little poem which I read out to the assembled company, and it was suggested that it would be good if put in the magazine

ODE TO TRICIA

Tricia now is leaving us

We’re sad to see her leave

But happy for her future

With all that she’ll achieve

St Ipps will miss her greatly

Her warm and gentle smile

She filled a calm and empty space

If only for a while

She sadly will be leaving us

To go to pastures new

With a new church congregation

We wish her our adieu

Her journey to the priesthood

Has included love and prayer

God has called her to the ministry

For all of us to share

St Francis is the winner 

To have her lead their team

She’s led our services with ease

Plus her singing voice a dream

We say goodbye to Trishia

We send her all our love

For future years to flourish

With God’s guidance from above
