It’s a new year and the year is 2004,

You can see it in their eyes,

The desire to become something more,

To change their appearance or break old ties,

So many wishes to change some factor in their existence,

Yet so rarely do they look inward instead of outward,

Appearance seems to mean so much in this world of chance,

Such confusion, such chaos in this place without The Word,

How thankful I am to not be one of the blind leading the blind,

To have such an amazing group of brothers and sisters, my friends, my family,

Each one of you, so warm, so kind,

I hope this closeness we share is visible for all to see,

Let us take this journey together hand in hand,

Continuing to aid those around us who are still confused,

We will continue, so long as we have breath, in this spiritual battle upon this place, upon this land,

Simply thank you, for your wisdom and your aid,

Thank you.
