Oh Concordia, I Miss You!

Thirty nine years have gone by

Since I bade you goodbye

But memories of you linger strong

Though our time together did not last long.

 

With you I spent two and a quarter years

That left an indelible memory I hold so dear

You instilled in me a desire to learn

And that respect is something I need to earn.

 

A truly cosmopolitan institution you really are

With students from Canada and afar

Montreal being a French city

The student population boasted lots of French beauties.

 

Sir George Williams Campus I hope to revisit

In the midst of Montreal City you sit

Your sister Layola is located in the outskirts of the city

A lush campus that exudes an endearing beauty.

 

 

Studying in the library till the wee hours of the night

I was often amazed by the sight

Of the overwhelming number of people with black hair

I guessed the Caucasians had all call it a day.

 

You gave me the rare chance to hear Ralph Nader speak

A fiery speech by a consumer advocate at his peak.

You gave me the rare chance to see a top hypnotist in action

A performance that held me in a stunned reaction.

 

I have fond memories of my Vietnamese friends Lan and Mai

As well as the Malaysian and Singaporean friends of mine

Life was fun with friends like them

But all good things came to an end.

 

Oh Concordia I do miss you a lot

You are often in my thought

I wonder whether I will ever see you again

Let not my longing be in vain.
