Congratulations! my Brother, my friend.
It's never really over and it never really ends.
You will have wishes and dreams that may never come true.
However through it all ----you will always have you.
No one can take away your dignity and pride.
It never ceased to amaze me how many have tried.
You stood tall and remained strong when the bottom fell through.
We watched others walk one mile but you always walked two.
You put both feet forward and given it your best.
Now, lay your eyes on the prize.
Bow your head when you rest.
College fans nicknamed you , Spoon, and for very good reason.
You sport your sophisticated style.
Like your famous chicken wings, you're well seasoned.
One more blessing that I need to relay.
Keep expressing yourself, Brother, and you'll go a long way.
