I was going to make both of you proud, and stand out from the nameless crowd. I had grand ideas, things I was gonna do. No big deal, I was only passing through. Everyone tells me that life is tough. I guess I was not good enough. Things didn't go as I wanted them to. It's OK, I was just passin' through. I could have been the one to offer you more, but it doesn't matter much anymore. Things could've worked out better between us two. Don't worry. I was only passing through. I've lost my inspiration, goals, and pride. I'm getting awfully tired of this ride. I'm ready for heaven, let me join the queue. See you later. I was only passing through.

Congratulations on your winning work in Brian's contest. Aren't we all just passing through and we have one very big choice to make in this life and that is which way we want to go after this life ends. Way to go. Sara K
