Don Lynch - Birthday Poem

TO DON

Our respect and admiration have developed through the years

For someone quite remarkable and as your birthday nears

We’d like to show appreciation for some of your wonderful deeds:

The time you’ve spent with others, answering many needs.

No matter what the reason was, you were there at hand –

In the military, civil or personal realm – trying to understand

What assistance you could give and the best way you could cope,

Helping people renew their lives, restoring health and hope.

We specially want to thank you, Don, for looking after Elaine.

She’s always been so dear to us and forever will remain

The heart of the Gold Coast Bushies Club, a close-knit band of

friends,

United in our strong belief camaraderie never ends.

……

THANK YOU, DON. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

From Jean Watson and all the Bushwalkers, April 2022.
