So, It Begins!
So, You Commence
— A Life
of your making —
— Decisions of your choosing —
The long hike
to the summit
So, that you may stand
and see the vistas
of your Independence!
Remember,
that even when we
are not walking with you…
May we be
the shoes that support you
may we comfort your steps
and offer solid footing
May we be
the staff
that guides you,
carries the burden,
offers a moment of rest
among steep grounds
May we be
your basecamp
where you re-supply
and sleep before
the next ascension
No matter
where you tread
In Body
Mind and
Spirit
We are with You
Beaming with Pride
and Hopeful
For the Man
That you have
Become!
