To all of you that believe in me and trust me,
To all of you that give me 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.

Life is a winding road
That takes you places unknown.
The road less traveled, it may seem
Because one has never before on it been.

Some say there is a circle
That walks you thru life.
Others say it’s just a road
That turns and forks a while,
And takes you down the beaten path
Thru a journey home and wild.

There are days that come with ease
And days that are just a tease.
There are days that are so hard
They leave you with a broken heart.
For those days that shine ahead
Of careless woes or solemn tears
Let the road lead you home
Where you will find all that is dear.

To dreams come true!

At night we look up to the sky,
Wondering what we’ll see.
And when we see a star is falling,
We quickly make a wish.

Our mind and energy,
Our thoughts and feelings,
All conspiring to bring us joy,
Conjured up the very thing
That we have just wished for.

So in a night clear and calm,
With stars as diamond glass,
If you see a shooting star
Make a wish; know in your heart,
That what you have wished for,
Soon will come to pass!
