Paul, your commitment spans a lifetime long,
Unraveling life’s tapestries, intricate and strong.
In every story, you’ve clearly shown,
A universe of meaning, waiting to be known.
Your work, a reminder of understanding’s art,
Approaching lives with an open heart.

As your wisdom like a river flows.

In the lives you’ve touched, that’s for sure.
A tribute to your lifelong devotion,
To human stories and their endless motion.
