I See You by Mr. S

 

I

see

YOU

 

I see you

for all your “You-ness”

which only YOU can

give us, wrapped up

in your own completely, individualized

package

 

I see you for all the

amazing things you

will share with our community today

all the questions that you will challenge us with today

all the answers that you will give, that we never

thought of before

 

I see you for making our school

stronger, healthier, richer

without you, we would not

be whole

without you, the puzzle

doesn’t have the most important

finishing piece

 

I see you for all the

reasons that got you

out of bed this morning

to come join us on this

masterful ship

breaking through giant waves

of wonder and awe

 

I see you for all

the mistakes you will make today

and for all the successes you will accomplish today

Both are just as important

as the other

Both are the biggest fish

caught in your own net

 

I see you for all the

smiles, laughter, friendship, caring, love

that you will offer up to us today

 

I see you

hungry for knowledge

ready for today’s hunt

pushing hard on the climb

up the steep mountain

 

I

see

YOU

 

YOU

are just

what we all needed

what we had hoped for

what we dreamed of

while gazing at the midnight stars

down by the ocean of endless possibilities,

following your footprints in the sand

pressed and stamped

as only YOU could do

 

I see

YOU

 

I

see

YOU
