This song was graciously commissioned by the Beaverton
High School Chamber Choir, in Beaverton, Oregon, for their
2024/25 school-year concert season. It is about the gifts that
friendships continue to give, even when we lose touch; or
even when we have said final good-byes.
The gifts we give eachother grow in our hearts, though we may
not always realize it until we are apart. We can still feel the
encouragement from them in the corners of our thoughts as
we make important decisions; or a humorous jest about a quirk
only they would know about us. They continue to shine a light
on our path.
And so this song is a celebration of those gifts that we give
each other. The strength we lend to one another continues to
multilply for the rest of our lives.
