“Property & Facilities Management is People Management -we bring the buildings along for laughs…”
C. Christensen
To those with vision and passion to burn
Who smolder with the thirst to learn
Who change their world by being true
To dreams and visions old and new
Property professionals are some of these
Who see the forest despite the trees
Some have buildings in the sky
Others are wide and not so high
Both are led by people who break locks
Spew their thoughts outside the box
Look at things a little differently
Work routines more efficiently
They thrive where roadblocks abound
Child’s play to get around
And overcome the obstacles
That others see as impossibles
They inspire others beyond their call
To reach and stretch no fear to fall
Weaving tapestry of disparate strands
A living beauty their building stands
And houses a daylight community of souls
Making them comfortable is only one of their goals
Taking them from comfort to happiness even joy
Requires dedicated love and those of who they employ
It takes skill to operate buildings and grounds
And even more skill to manage people I’ve found
But it takes love to make a property great
Out of love flow the character that legacies make
Property and Facilities professionals of the modest to the high-rise
Know buildings are more than just structures for enterprise
They inspire and provide communal dignity and work load respite
So thank you to all who enrich our lives with well-managed sites.
Congratulations – you made it this far! We hope you enjoyed a rest from the serious side of business for a minute and maybe got a chuckle too. We’ve been doing these things for fun over the years, usually on a coffee break…too much time would take the fun out of it (there are no Walt Whitman’s here).
If you got a minute, write a verse – it’s fun. We’d sure like to hear one from you!
…. Life is serious, but don’t take yourself too seriously.
