WARD NATION
IN RESPECT OF THE WARD FAMILY TREE
To the family that’s fathered – Today we Stand
​
Where six generations sweep our kin
Since the first generation of the Wards’ family tree
That struck off their bonds and made us free.
​
To the second generation, who by their sweat in the soil
Made this land ours, by right of toil
To the third generation, who through enduring determinations
Continued our family’s struggle in this nation
To the fourth generation, who saw opportunity arise
And took on the challenges that brought our family pride
​
To the fifth and sixth generations who will not forget our aim
And will continue to bring pride and respect to the WARD name…
- Gwendolyn Swan
