For a year that has gone
For a year that has passed
A year of constant missing
And a love that will always last
To a man that we loved
To our true inspiration
We loved how he taught
How he showed so much dedication
The way you left
The way you came
You will always be remembered
And without you we wont be the same
Everyday is a struggle
To keep standing tall
Without you we are useless
And cant help but fall
You taught us to believe
You taught us to stay strong
But how can we do that
When our beloved teacher is gone
Slipped through our hands
Slipped through our grasp
We couldnt say goodbye
You went away too fast
There was so much to be said
So much for you to hear
We didnt get to say thankyou
Is what we truly feared
Are you up there watching?
Watching us read this out
Do you know that when you left
We forgot what we were about
We forgot that we are so much more
Than just ordinary kids
You taught us that nothing is impossible
And that we were special no matter what we did
There was no such thing as a silly question
Or a stupid word
The best thing about you with us
Was that nothing was left unheard
I hope that you hear this
I hope that you now know
That you meant so much to us
And how none of us wanted you to go
It was because of you
That we are who we are today
We want you here with us
So that we have time to say
Say our last goodbyes
Say how much we care
We all wish that we had time
But we cant now, youre not there
We have to do it alone
We have to pray that you hear
We have to stay strong
But remember this past year
The year that was without you
The year we did it alone
We stayed strong for you
At school and at home
We know that youre watching
Looking over us every night
I wish that we could see you
But we cant youre out of sight
We thought that you would last forever
But this forever cant persist
Youre forever lives In our hearts
Because you Mr Lugton will be
Forever loved forever missed
