Thank you

In the quiet hush of victory’s glow,
A gentle farewell, I softly bestow.
Though this round I did not prevail,
My journey’s been a heartfelt tale.

Long roads traveled, dreams in flight,
Guided by hope through day and night.
Each step, each stumble, every cheer,
Carved my spirit, made it clear.

Thank you all, for standing near,
Your support, a shining gear.
This isn’t end, but just a bend,
A pause, a breath, a means to mend.

In ink and heart, I’ll rise again,
With lessons learned, I’ll face the rain.
For every loss is a seed,
Of future blooms and dreams to feed.

So here’s to courage, to every try,
To reaching upward, aiming high.
The journey’s long, but I’ll stay true
With gratitude, I thank you.
