COACH

Coach, friend, leader, biggest fan.
There aren't enough words to describe
what you've meant to us these years.
You've been by our side through thick and thin.
Whether its a hug to congratulate,
Or to wipe away the tears.
You've brought us strength when we were weak,
You've given us courage when we felt meek.
Always pushing us to do our best,
To never give up until we've beaten the rest.
You taught us how to be a team,
And to strive for our goals,
No matter how impossible they seem.
We've been pushed, yelled at, preached at, too,
But the more that this happened, the more we grew.
We will carry you with us for the rest of our lives,
Hearing that voice encouraging us to overcome any strife.
It's hard to say good-bye, but we want you to know,
how thankful we are for that friend we call Coach.
