Time is short, each moment fleeting
However I can’t help but repeating
Another thank you for the moments well spent
New memories made with every event
Keeping those close is where my thoughts are always sent
You made me stronger and refused to let me fall
Over and over, you helped calm my fear
Under every circumstance you have taught me to stand tall
Filled with moments that shaped who I became
Over the year, you helped kindle my flame
Reflect on the work and how far we came
Before my last 20 days in this blue jacket elapse
I reflect on the last 343 days with Indiana FFA
Through friendships and service, we’ve grown side by side
Together we laughed, we failed, we tried
Each moment a memory I’ll never forget
Reminders of pride with no regret
So many faces, so many names
We stood as one through losses and gains
Every goodbye carries weight in my chest
Even as I know we all gave our best
This chapter will close, but I won’t call it the end
Bittersweet farewells, but stronger we stand
Leaving behind more than banners in hand
Each step forward carries all that we’ve known
Smiles that show just how much we’ve grown
So here’s my heart in this simple phrase
I sincerely thank you for these golden days
New seeds of service continue to bloom
Gratitude deep for all this year brings
See you in 21 days, with joy that still sings!
Making the days count,
Christina Caldwell
