The lake, so peaceful and serene,
caressed by the soft moonlight,
gave magical feelings to the night.

The soft blue glow,
the words that then did flow were few,
their eyes did meet,
a special night,
a long embrace,
he decided to express his feelings,
to keep her safe.

Without spoken words
That was the night they promised
to be together through everything,
each to care for the other when old and gray
A pact
most likely to last.

Advanced leaders was a really hard, course, we had absolutely no down time, ok I lie it wasnt that bad. Otherwise I wouldnt have been able to write these literary masterpieces!

THE CADET STAFF
The cadet staff fill an interesting boat
With Ma'tafa in there will they keep afloat?
Tasker always brings out the "Big Guns"
quite impressive for such a little one
Campbell redefines the term mighty mouse
and boy does she run a strict house!
Crawshaw has the stare down pat
and if you go outside be sure to wear your hat!
Ma'tafa would like corporal punishment back
then he can utilise his fishslice, stick or bat.
All in all they make an interesting bunch,
if only we could say the same about lunch!

Composed by me, Liesje, so If you theive it you best be putting my name at the bottom


That was the short one, this next one gets down to business.

Five hours sleep, thats not rough.

The course came and went
And my commander days are all but spent

So next year, find another host.
But never fear!
Your Units in trouble? I will be there on the double.
So thank you al for such a great time
And remember, KEEP IT IN LINE!!

Do I see a hand?
Oh goody now I get to reprimand!
Do they persist?
Miss Connor what kind of disrespect is this?
Do you have no integrity, respect or honour?
I was in the middle of my farewell.
Well? Go on, do tell

What I have to say sir, you will want to hear.
To you from us sir,
We all know your'e a big teddy bear!!


Liesje Connor

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Lean on me...
