Ever moving forward with integrity and passion
Always searching for the need and taking proper action
Giving to the vulnerable so hope remains alive
Washington Heights heroes to this end they always strive
Growth and Development Services…GDS is their name
Lifting up our future leaders is just one claim to their fame
Dr. Altheim at the helm heroic in his struggles
Lord the man’s a saint-just look at what he juggles!
Perseverance personified in keeping his eyes on that prize
So teens, families and seniors never ever have to surmise
Surmise about their futures, though tenuous they might be
For all seems right in their complex world with support from Dr. G
I won’t belabor, bewilder, bore you bedazzle nor obscure
Sadly, for GDS’s survival-there is no magic cure
Each day the struggle begins again to keep the dream alive
To keep afloat his healing boat that struggles to survive
Once again with each new day some try to block the dream
To thwart the goals and crush the will is their never ending scheme
With a team of heroes steadfast and true GDS shall forever endure
For truth is truth, and good is good on to victory forever more!
