PATCHWORK <strong>OF</strong> MEMORIES<br />
Sherry Gary<br />
I recently stepped through the door<br />
of this historical academy<br />
And learned about its days of yore<br />
And the farm land it used to be<br />
This campus wears its antiquity with pride<br />
Like a robe spun out of history<br />
Within its bucolic grounds abide<br />
A spirit that is a mystery<br />
This spirit is Busey’s hallmark<br />
The campus’ greatest treasure<br />
The homespun atmosphere, a trademark<br />
With value impossible to measure<br />
Busey is like a vintage quilt<br />
Whose pieces each tell a story<br />
The tapestry upon which it is built<br />
Holds tales of devotion and glory<br />
Each patchwork piece is the key<br />
For phenomenal student success<br />
Threaded together by devoted faculty<br />
Whose love and time they invest<br />
This quilt we now fold and put to rest<br />
Pledging never to forget the warmth it did give<br />
We place it in our memory chest<br />
But the sadness and loss still live<br />
Beautiful Busey<br />
Beautiful Busey, a garden of joy.<br />
A rich soil of knowledge for each girl and boy.<br />
Sprinkled with love from the day they arrive,<br />
Students will blossom and certainly thrive.<br />
Teachers tend garden and plant seeds of hope,<br />
Providing the tools that each child needs to cope.<br />
Parents realize that this garden is rare,<br />
Knowing no harvest may ever compare.<br />
A harvest of dreams cultivated by love,<br />
Makes Beautiful Busey a gift from above.<br />
