gold star for robot girl

i thank your support group for the opportunities you provide each other

i thank your dreams for the visions they give you
and those they omit

i thank you for your allowance for personal freedom:

freedom to take leave at one's leisure

freedom to make responsible judgements
regardless of circumstances

freedom to go gentle into that good night
because that night was certainly good
and i was certainly going gently

i also thank the fortune
for yet another opportunity
to realize what i shall surely at some point learn


horton thought maybe he heard a who
and responded:
"then maybe i will stop trying"
