Thank you

To all those people who have moved me along my journey
Who have helped me write my story
Know I appreciate your kindness profoundly
Three precious words left unspoken are always coming from me to you
Because our relationships are how all of my experience and knowledge did accrue
That is why a bow and a gracious words are due
To all my friends and family
For putting up with me while I am ornery
Laughing at the silly side of life with me in such gaiety
To all those who had a shoulder on a difficult night
Strangers holding out a helping hand without a reward in sight
The wisdom of the experienced which gave insight
You taught a boy how to become a man
While leaving cherished memories that made me understand
Those three little words no longer need to be unspoken.
I love and appreciate all of you. The treasures you have given me will only elevate the people I know because those who made me are immaculate creations. It took me 25 years to come to this realization, and I am optimistic we can experience the splendor of this world for another 25 magnificent years. There is much hatred amongst us right now, and it is unnecessary. Only through the kindness of the love of those who surround me have my eyes been opened. In these next 25 I will repay their respect tenfold. Together we can leave this place better then we found it. Let us celebrate life in all of its glory. My friends, my family, I love you.

Sincerely,

Laron R. Lemon
