Everything you do creates a wave
I know it’s cliché
but all so true

The hand you give,
you may never know
Its impact out in the blue

What you said thirty years ago still hits me hard
and enters under my skin
It affects how i speak to my brother
It affects my view of the road

The road going forward we all share
What’s our vision
For reaching, and where?

So thank you for your contribution
Thank you for sharing yourself
Thank you for spreading your lessons
For helping us laying cement

Thank you for showing your humanity
Thank you for being weak
Thank you for being a leader
For what you did, however brief

Thanks for opening our eyes
To what it was like to be you
Thank you for the courage to rise
With the tides washing over you
