A poem by Martin Pritchard-Howarth, July 2022
An extended family bound by Remembrance and Friendship
Varied characters drawn from widely different backgrounds,
Yet with similar traits and values
Cleaved and sculpted from the same rock face,
Varying shades but the same core.
Like staring at an ocean but never seeing the same picture twice.
Perseverance and a steely, gritty determination
A striving for excellence, whatever the cost
Collectively a caravan of curiosity,
travelling the globe in pursuit of altruistic challenges
and personal fulfilment.
A spectrum band of diverse brothers linked for the duration.
Not giving up 'til it's over.
No hierarchy or entitlement burdens us
Respect is earned, not expected.
Admiration determined by your actions, not a birth right.
All contribute to a rich tapestry.
Somehow plans and schemes come together.
A charmed concoction conjuring up success from trials and tribulations.
Fortuitous or cursed?
the puzzle pieces inevitably fit,
however, daunting the task.
Share your passions, defy your critics.
Suffer no fools and accept no compromise.
Live the life you love.
Love the life you live.
Inter-generational, non-denominational
Legacy builders, memory makers
All are welcome, few ever leave.
Who knows next what's up Liam's sleeve!
Through loss, love, triumph, and strife
This is your family, Tri4Life.
