I read this and thought I really couldn't say it any better.
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing to think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way
For what is a man, (or woman - I added this bit) what has he (she - and this bit) got?
If not himself, (herself - you've got the idea) then (s)he has not
To say the things (s)he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way
Thank you to everyone on the course for making me feel welcome - as a direct entry to Year 2 you made it easy for me to fit in. Thank you to all the tutors but especially Caroline (who has helped me through the terrible APEL thing) and Simon (who has had to put up with me waffeling my way through two Modules).
Onwards and upwards xxxx
