thank you for letting me go / thank you for letting me grow!

as i walk the path we used to run, i’m struck by all the ways the sun

illuminates the mountains and shrouds its mysteries.

it’s a bit like you and me.

as i’m basking in the sun’s bright rage, i’m struck by all the good that change

comes waving in the face of a wicked tragedy,

tragedy like you and me.

it’s like an aspen grove!

it’s like a phoenix, this i know!

this much i know-

nothing goes to waste.

thank you for letting me go.

thank you for letting me grow.
