ODE TO CHAPLAIN BRYAN

Whenever he speaks,
  I have a warm feeling inside
    And my despairs and fears vanish
      not lurking within to hide

I never gave much thought
  to what most people had to say
    But having known you Chaplain
      I know that I’m on my way

As you have counseled all of us here,
  Godspeed on your journey
    Healing those you will encounter
      giving first aid, applying a gurney

I think I speak for all of us here
  when I say you will be missed
    From the reading, the talks and prayers,
      we have all got the gist

It is all about love,
  for ourselves and for one another
    Thank you Chaplain Bryan
      In you we all have a brother
