And 

What

A ride 

It has been

Through the ups and downs

False starts and defining moments

That have eventfully been through it all

The tears and laughter punctuating turn and tide

For the dreams come true and hopes fondly beheld

There is lots of blessings to joyously count in spite of it all

And priceless memories henceforth treasuring in rare signature

Here’s to happy landings and to many many more glories to come

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds (Isa 3:10).
