'Tis Time To Say, ‘good-Bye! ' Poem by Dr John Celes

The sun has set just for today!
The morn will bring a better dawn;
God opens us a newer door;
Each one must be on her own way!

All things on earth are transient;
Our nursing school-life has now ceased;
We must practice the things we learnt;
We go to serve dying, diseased!

We can't forget old memories;
But then, we can't stay here forev'r;
Why live with our present worries?
Life gives solutions too with time!

Let's face the world with new courage;
Let's take things as they come in life;
A rosy future awaits all;
Our future lies in each one's hands.

So, labour hard and persevere;
Life is in facing challenges;
A heart of love can win the world;
Our hands are meant to serve the sick!

We bid adieu to teachers dear;
We bid farewell to friends and peer;
We say good-bye to every seer;
Our hearts remain with you all near!
