Hey, Chris!
for Chris Palmer — CLR ’08
Hey Chris Palmer — who are you now,
and who are you hoping to be?
With your hair hanging low
and your style running loose,
who is it you’re trying to grow into?
You’ve got a real chance — and you know it.
Life has shown you, through romance
and almost-romance,
that if you want something,
you can reach for it.
What you choose will shape you.
Don’t let book-learning slip away.
And remember — more than anything —
your own words,
the ones you speak with honesty,
will carry you
to the girl you hope to know.
