For sunlit hours and visions clear, For all remembered faces dear, For comrades of a single day, Who sent us stronger on our way, For friends who shared the year's long road And bore with us the common load, For hours that levied heavy tolls, But brought us nearer to our goals, For insights won through toil and tears, We thank the Keeper of our years. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE IMPOSSIBLE INDISPENSIBILITY OF THE ARS POETICA by HAYDEN CARRUTH AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS WAR by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON DOWN BY THE CARIB SEA: 1.
