So Long Farewell

Summer has quickly faded in to the past, and now I look ahead to the future. New School, new friends, newlife experiences.....But i will miss all of the good times I have had with the people I have known all these years. I have so many inside jokes that I don't know what i am going to do without them.....probably make new ones with my new comrades....The memories i have with these people are never going to fade. I shall think of my firends all the time and remember the fun things we did, the trouble we got into, the randomness we always were a part of..... And that is just my high school friends. Class of '08 at ACS i am going to miss seeing each of you everyday, ya'll made life fun and exciting, i hope that everyone excelles at whatever they plan on doing in their futures

The next group is very dear to my heart, though many years younger than me, we have grown up together. and they are my beloved youth group groupies. LAyna, Hannah and Danielle, my three stoogettes, I am going to miss your craziness every sunday and Wednesday. You always found a way to brighten my day. I am so going to miss you all. I love ya'll so much. Then there is Sam and Mitch. Mitch you are great fun to be around. Your goofyness is catching. When you are crazy we all are crazy. Sam I have only really gotten to know you this summer but you are a great kid. I am going to really miss those Wednesday nights on the bleachers or the swings, and especially our table in the fellowship hall. Layna feeding me, hannah being sarcastic, Danielle being hyper, mitch being mitch, and sam........ahhh goodtimes. If any of you ever read this....psst! Tag Your IT!!!!!!!! Bahahahahaha!

And my final group of friends that have actually turned into my extended family. My theatre buds. From FCFT, to STG, To ACS. I am going to miss so many people that i have worked with over this past year and a half. But many more who i have know for what seems like forever My beloved Emily.....You and I will always have one thing in common and to think it is what actually brought our friendship together(WICKED.) I have to do this now....or i will never get it done..... but it is for all of my theatre friends and not just Em.

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives

For A Reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are lead to those

who help us most to grow

If we let them
And help them in Return

Well I don't know If I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

because I knew you

Like a Comet pulled from orbit

as it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

halfway through the wood

Who Can say

if i've been changed for the better

but Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

It well may be
That We may never meet again

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part

So much of me

Is made of what I learned form you

You'll be with me

like a handprint on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have rewritten mine

by being my friend

Like a ship blown from it's mooring

By a wind off the sea

Like a seed dropped by a sky bird

in a distant wood

Who can say

if I've been changed for the better

But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been Changed for good

And just to clear the air

I ask forgiveness

for the things I've done

you blame me for

but then I guess

we know there's blame to share

and none of it seems

to matter any more

Like a comet puled from orbit

Like a ship blown from it's morring

As it passes a sun

by a wind off the sea

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Like a seed dropped by a bird

Halfway through the wood

in the wood

Who can say if i've been changed for the better

I do believe i have been changed for the better

And Because I knew you

Because I knew you

because I knew you

I have been Changed

For Good
