‘Twas the Friday before Christmas and a grand soiree arose
To honor the Warner’s among the wreaths and holly and bows.
While the event was sincerely to remember dear Robert’s mom and dad—
GRACE was filled with family and friends to make the feelings joyous and glad.
Ana and Erica joined Lynda and Robert in the Clinic to start.
While our Nurse Shirley and Doctor Lee greeted arriving guests from their heart.
And the Clinic soon filled with appreciation, happiness, joy, and love.
There was Sally and Kurtis. Tall Donny walked in, head and shoulders above.
Leslie and Don joined in. Laura and Johnny.
Daveen and her girls. Then Kevin and Roni.
Heidi and Mark with his wrist in a pickle.
And good friends came in droves, not in a trickle.
Soon the Clinic was packed, shoulder-to-shoulder, festive revelers all,
So we strolled to the Community Room where we were not wall-to-wall.
Rebecca offered thanks to all and welcomed every guest
And Kindal recognized the pair who have given their best
To help GRACE succeed
And serve more in need.
In their humble way, the Warner’s circled all the glory
Back to the couple who began the glorious story,
To the Reverend Randolph and Obdulia Warner,
Robert’s parents, who are now enshrined in Warner Corner.
Many thanks to all who joined us on this special day—
A perfect way to begin the Christmas holiday.
