Integrity in a uniform
Promoting drastic reform
For a future of truth
And justice for our youth
Turning hopelessness to ambition
Making it your life mission
You brought others into your cause
Guiding and teaching without pause
Truth in a whole new way
You embrace each new day
With courage, strength, and persistence
Never with hesitant resistance
You saw change in your mind
But a hero was taken before his time
However,do not be discouraged
Those after you will be encouraged
To work for what is right
And through them will shine your light
May the
wind be at your back
and your face towards the sun”
Darene S. Brown
