\n<\/p>\n

Time is short, each moment fleeting<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However I can\u2019t help but repeating<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Another thank you for the moments well spent<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New memories made with every event<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping those close is where my thoughts are always sent<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>You made me stronger and refused to let me fall<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over and over, you helped calm my fear<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Under every circumstance you have taught me to stand tall<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Filled with moments that shaped who I became<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the year, you helped kindle my flame<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reflect on the work and how far we came<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Before my last 20 days in this blue jacket elapse<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I reflect on the last 343 days with Indiana FFA<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Through friendships and service, we\u2019ve grown side by side<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Together we laughed, we failed, we tried<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each moment a memory I\u2019ll never forget<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reminders of pride with no regret<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So many faces, so many names<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We stood as one through losses and gains<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every goodbye carries weight in my chest<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Even as I know we all gave our best<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This chapter will close, but I won\u2019t call it the end<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Bittersweet farewells, but stronger we stand<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Leaving behind more than banners in hand<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each step forward carries all that we\u2019ve known<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Smiles that show just how much we\u2019ve grown<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So here\u2019s my heart in this simple phrase<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I sincerely thank you for these golden days<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New seeds of service continue to bloom<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gratitude deep for all this year brings<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

See you in 21 days, with joy that still sings!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Making the days count,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Christina Caldwell<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
