PAT | MEANING NOBLE | Your manner is noble | And so dignified | That when you give direction, | Others must abide. | The moment you speak it, | Your word becomes law, | For others regard you | With reverent awe. | Because in the eyes of all | You highly rate, | The impression you leave | Will be noble and great.
