Thank You

And today let it be said that each of you

Every one

Shapes me and shapes the world

And for this

I am eternally aware

And utterly grateful

For the light and the courage

Of those who act bravely and deeply

And those who laugh hard

And grieve wide

And bake pies

And make art

And offer tremendous generosities that make me cry

And fall to my knees

In awe of humanity
