In Memory of Student Josh Green

'Funny Lad Green'   (In memory of Josh 25.5.96 - 27.7.16)

​It's still with shock that we stand here today
Mourning your loss, having now passed away
The people you touched, the hearts that you reached
Will be treasured forever, and remembered in speech

That cheeky smile, those mischievous ways
Brought many a laugh to our classroom days
You were popular, fun and so full of life
For family and friends it must cut like a knife

Memories of you were as part of a team
The crazy creatives!! 'A teacher's worst dream!' :):)
You'd grace the corridors on every floor
We knew you were near us due to the deafening uproar

Miss, miss can we come in
But before I had spoken, you were all seated with a grin
We'll be quiet!! Promise!! You won't hear a thing!
Then out came the lunches and sweets you would bring

A deep breath was taken and with a smile on my face
We would proceed with the lesson at an unusual pace
You were honest and open and liked airing your views
But were often oblivious to the time we would lose

As it soon drew fast to the end of the year
You all suddenly realised just why you were here
With guts and determination you all pulled together
And churned out assignments until the end of your tether

The results were pleasing, you all did your best
But until deadlines were met you still wouldn't rest
Alas the year ended and my time with you too
But the memories you left me, if only you knew!!

Time has moved on now and all have progressed
It's just sad that one's missing and in a place of rest
Josh if you're listening, you will always be seen
As a top friendly student, the 'Funny Lad Green.'
