Our lovely barista Danny, wrote this poem to present at our final meal together last night.
A Farewell to Laian
Beneath the warm Geraldton sky,
Laian stood as days went by,
A place of laughter, food, and cheer,
A haven cherished far and near.
From the grind of beans to the final sip,
Danny poured love in every drip.
Jackson and Tim, with artful flair,
Crafted meals beyond compare.
Carolyn’s guidance, steady and true,
Kept the heart of Laian beating through.
Tracy’s hands brought rhythm and pace,
A quiet hero of the bustling space.
Amanda, Izzy, Julie, and more,
Shelby, Chris—our dining floor,
Sara and Lochie, both shining bright,
Their dedication added light.
Nam stood steadfast, ever strong,
In suds and clatter all day long.
While Nadeem and Terry’s vision bright,
Gave Geraldton a place of light.
Jess, the numbers queen, precise and grand,
With a heart of gold and a steady hand.
Karen, by night, with her strength and care,
PT by day, a talent so rare.
Today, we closed this chapter dear,
Yet it's echoes linger, sweet and clear.
With every laugh, each shared delight,
Laian’s spirit shines so bright.
Though the doors have closed, we dream anew,
For every ending births something true.
A farewell meal, a cup, a glance,
Marks not an end, but a second chance.
So here’s to Laian, a story spun,
Of food, of love, of hearts as one.
May the next horizon warmly call,
As we carry its spirit, cherished by all.
