Dedicated to every 2.2 I've ever been on. Dedicated to the road which brought thousands of brilliant individuals together. Dedicated to the people I had the honor of sharing the campus with. Dedicated, to 2.2.
I walked my path, 2 km long
My destination came closer, but not quite there
I walked some more, towards my goal
I found myself once again at home
2.2 taught me, that life comes a circle
on this road, I found pleasures many
This road has seen me laugh, this road has seen me cry
this road has seen me, dancing in the rain wild
On this road, I found friends and foes
Allies to enjoy, antagonists for struggle
On this path, competition brought out the best of men
on this path, I saw the worst of them
In the centre lies, a lake undisturbed
A symbol of beauty, of nature of love
it imparts to me, the age old wisdom
the centre of all life is nothing but love
Other tracks branch out from this one
one strays for a while, but is sure to return
Possibilities infinite, the freedom of choice
the lesson that consequences, are results of my choice
Some patches lit and some patches dark
like life itself, this path offers it all
it doesn’t bask forever in the pride of triumph
nor does it always lament, in grief of loss
The circle of life is a circle indeed
for it has neither beginning nor end
It teaches us that life goes on
you may stop for a while, but the only choice is to walk
This path brought together
wonders of people I was blessed to chance
While leaving I say this with a smile
I was honoured to have shared with them the path
As seasons changed so did the path
as I evolved, so did the path
The path unfolded to me, all secrets it had
I never knew when, I told it all of mine
The path taught me, that everything changes
and living in the past is futile
Change must be embraced, with open arms
for it is only adaptation which survives
The path opened visions, earlier thought not of
the path taught perspectives, unheard of
the path told me to believe, in what I find right
and to respect someone’s right, even if it be my wrong
The people on the path changed too
beyond what I could have imagined
Yet, we shared the same road
perhaps this road held us together
Looking back, I see what I had
I have more I know
The path asks if I am contented
I say I have .2 more to go
Away from home, amidst greenery on both sides
the path put me in state when for nothing I wished to
survive
It taught me nothing to lose was the worst place to be in
but the best, to start a new life
The path gave me courage, to embrace myself
for anything for not a taboo, within the boundations of
this path
I never knew when I took the path outside with me
Now I may be gone, but every step I take will be one on
2.2
I take with me, all my learnings
and I hear 2.2 saying adieu
I promise to live each day, as it taught me to
smiling, moving, dancing and singing along the way
I have walked my path, 2 km long
My destination has came close, but not quite there
I will walk some more, towards my goal
.2 km away, I see my home
