It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, and finally thrills through and through. It is just a good memory that chants the refrain I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” Did you know you were brave; did you know you were strong? Did you know there was one leaning hard? Did you know that I waited and listened and waited, And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know I looked for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true? Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live, that I battle and strive For the place that I know I must fill. I can take sorrows; I’ll meet with a grin, What fortune may send, good or ill. I may not have wealth, I may not be great, But I know I will always be true, For I have in life that courage you gave When once I rubbed shoulders with you. CLASS PARENTS Dr. Clyde G.
