Our time is now - a poem to welcome Lade
14 July, 2023
This beautiful poem, written by a member of the College who wishes to remain anonymous, was read out to our new President, Dr Lade Smith CBE, at a session during International Congress 2023.
Our time is now
Like a great idea
Whose time has come
Like a new dawn
laden with immense promise
Our time is now
A now, of new beginnings
A now, of change and progress
So let our congratulations
ring loud and proud
for Lade
With our best wishes
we usher in your turn
as our new leader
We pay homage
to those before you
who have done much
but there is still
more to do
We will stay strong
for the journey ahead
a challenging journey
a journey, we must take
so welcome dear sister
your time starts now
Our time is now
