[LM_NET] retirement speech help

[Melinda Miller-Widrick <melinda@CPCS.K12.NY.US>]

Hi folks - I need to pick the collective brain of the group again. I am
doing a retirement speech for a very good friend of mine. It is fairly
serious so far. I was wondering if any one knew of something children's
literature-wise if possible (although it does nothave to be) that I could
read  at the end - lasting about a minute  (something along the lines of a
poem or passage) that would be a good moving ending to the things I am
saying about her to wish her well, etc. I love quotes but a single quote is
probably not long enough. I would need this suggestion asap as she has just
decided to retire and we are honoring her this weekend. Thanks for any help
you can give me. As always, all ideas and suggestions are much appreciated.
:-)
