I stare at this screen,

I look up to day 471,

Time flies and the little big steps,

Are clearer in the sands of time,

They are wider and different,

Some depict strength,

Others the will to survive,

But mostly just the grace to move forward,

I dare say to myself,

I’m proud of you dear,

To standing this long,

For working this close,

And being this great.
