Oh what adventures we have shared.

Together.

We have climbed mountains

And sang in sweet unison cheers of victory

As we arrived at the summit.

Together.

We have crawled through muddy,

Murky valleys

And rejoiced at the sight

Of the rising sun

As the morning air filled our lungs with hope.

Together.

We have laughed until we cried

And our bodies and bones have trembled

As sorrow has wracked us to the core.

Together.

We have stood in silence,

Watching the sun kiss the horizon

Goodnight,

All the while

Quietly anticipating the realization of sweet dreams coming alive

In the wake of tomorrow.

Together.

And on each adventure,

Each detour,

Each long dry straightaway,

Every joyous celebration,

Every tiny step forward,

Each slip backwards,

Whether you have been through a portion

Or this whole amazing

Journey

With

Me

Thus far,

I thank you.
