Thank you
for being where all these years went.
Happiness comes from the people we are,
And so much of what we are now comes from here,
Nearby our hearts still, our minds still ajar.
Knowledge is wealth that can never be
spent.
Years from this day, as we search
for some star,
Over us clouds, our harried heads
bent,
Unthinking, some long-ago wind will skies
clear.
