The Golden Thread

Thank you to all who have gone before me
Who held the torch so high
so that I could see in the dark night

I crawled and crawled
and you did not waver
The light stayed strong
Just like you said it would
"Keep going" you always implored

And now I'm here
I made it

Filled with gratitude
I see you hand me the torch
I will hold it too for those on their way
We must do this for each other
