You have made our lives so complete envied by those who have witnessed you grow The ease at which you always set our minds is befitting of an earth-walking angel

 

As you depart for a farther destination take with you the assurance of our pure love Know you will sadly leave our nest with a void no creature, twig, nor the mighty oak can fulfill

 

No effort is ample to appease your absence for it will fail to alleviate our sadness May you find comfort in every step on your trail May the stone beneath your feet secure your soul

 

May the winds of change, affect not your character Yet, may they help you soar as you unfold your wings May your thirst for knowledge guide you to the fountain of sweetest and freshest water and may that desire be satisfied; yet unquenched

 

As you embark in this cultural and academic journey bring and share with this new world the joy, happiness, and love you have blessed upon us, for it is the only comfort consoling our hearts knowing, that this world is in for a much needed change.
