Jordan River Anderson: A 25-year tribute – FNQLHSSC

In the vast prairies, a child was born;

Jordan, a name that resonates with the echoes of yore,

Would have been 25 this year, with a life to explore,

But the wind of destiny took him, and away his life was torn.

Your smile, Jordan, shines beyond the stars so bright,

Carrying hope in hearts, sailing out of range.

You did not live to see this world change,

But laws and rights emerged from your fight.

A call was born on that tragic day,

A cry for equality, an essential fight.

Jordan’s Principle echoes your plight,

So that every child receives what is due to them, without delay.
