| A Beautiful Poem from John O'Connor Fall 2025 |
| TO MY FRIENDS AT THE WHITBY LAWN BOWLING CLUB |
| Another season’s come and gone, |
| The greens now rest, as the chill moves on. |
| It’s only my second year, you see, |
| But what a home this club’s become to me. |
| We’ve rolled our bowls through sun and rain, shared in triumph, loss, and pain. |
| For though this year brought tears for some, we stood as one together, strong. |
| There were moments bright with joy and cheer, and laughter ringing clear to hear. |
| We broke our bread, we shared our care, in friendship’s warmth beyond compare. |
| From morning draws to twilight games, each face, each story, each cherished name, has filled these greens with life and grace, this club our special meeting place. |
| So as the season takes its rest, |
| I wish you all the very best. |
| May winter’s peace your hearts renew, til springtime brings us back to you. |
| Thank you all for the joy you bring, |
| For kindness shown in everything. |
| Until we meet again next year, |
| Keep well, my friends and bowl with cheer. |
| — With gratitude, |
| John O'Connor |
