It was 3am and I could not sleep. The TV Easy Listening station was on and it played the song The Chalice from the album the Blessing Tree (1998). As I try to catch more Zs, unsuccessfully, the words that follow poured out of my soul.
Forever in your Debt
To all of you that believe in me and trust me,
To all of you that give the the chance to be better than I believe myself to be,
To all of you that give my life purpose and meaning,
I am forever in your debt.
Thank you for your trust,
Thank you for your patience,
Thank you for the opportunity
To be the best I can be.
I am forever grateful
You all bring out the best in me.
And with this I close the year in gratitude, thankful for all those that somehow have been instrumental in my growth and learning this year.
I am forever in your debt…
