The Baton

Now you are gone,

We’ll take the baton,

It’ll be made of your laughter, your kindness, your love,

your generous spirit, your courage, your heart.

Now you are gone,

We’ll take the baton,

It’s been carried so far,

And had the best start.

Now you are gone,

We’ll take the baton,

And what you gave all of us

Will live on and on.
