Success For All : School

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

At St Gabes we stood up tall success for all the call .

So happy to be present                                      

To do and to teach them all-

Though the roll book is closed now our memories

never die ,

from each side of the Crumlin Road ,

we've  come to say goodbye .

 

Saint Gabriels your playgrounds quiet now at last

and the way of life has

Changed so much in the streets around Belfast -

Guided by the spirit  our

hope will never end ,

St Gabriels the old school you'll always be our friend  .

 

 

We've passed the ball success for all is where we are today 

Now's the time

to say goodbye with tears in our eye ,

our school's no  more they've closed

the door  -

But a new day has dawned and the message  is strong

for the future and the peace to live on and on .

 

 

Thanks for all the teachers who made it all worthwhile ,

leaving St Gabriels –doing it in style .

and when ever we look back , I hope it makes some sense ,

St Gabriels life with you was an experience
