I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn and we are led to those who helped us most to grow if we let them... and we help them in return.
Well I don't know if I believe that's true - but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you.
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun. Like a tree that meets a boulder halfway through the wood... Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you... I have been changed for good.
It well may be that we may never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part - so much of me is made of what I learned from you... you'll be with me like a hand print on my heart.
And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.
Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood...
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for...
But then I guess we know there's blame to share. And none of it seems to matter anymore...
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better...Because I knew you I have been changed for good.
Thank-you for teaching me more than I ever learned in a class. Thank-you for being the most amazing people on an amazing campus. Thank-you for accepting me and loving me and challenging me to be the best person I can be every day for the past two years. And thank-you for the best years of my life. War Eagle.
