Okay, this was written because of a Superbowl bet, but it says a lot about how I feel about my friends in this meeting. Many of you have walked through fire with me already. I’m deeply grateful.

 A FRIEND WILL GET YOU THROUGH

Life, my friend, is difficult
Some days will make you blue.
When days like that come round the bend
A friend will get you through.

They may cajole or rock and roll
Tell a tale or two
But they’ll walk though hell 
        and hold your hand
If that’s where you’re headed to.

They can pull you back 
        when you start to crack
Or push you till you do
They see you when you’ve lost yourself
When life’s a crazy zoo.

You’ve done this for me many times
And this I know is true
I’d do the same for you, my friend
Cause a friend will get you through. 

Thank you, friends. You know I’m talking to you.
