Thank You, John Denver by Sharon O’Donnell
As high school and college graduations have come to end, I paused to think about my own, as well as the graduations of my two oldest sons (the most recent was
my oldest son’s graduation from the Master of Accounting program at the University of Virginia. The words to a John Denver song — the song that got me through high
school with its inspiration — always come back to me at this time of year. The song is called “Looking for Space”, and it is a masterpiece. I listened to it this week for the first time in a long
while, and it still is magical to me. So here is a link to it, followed by my oldest son’s graduation photo. Please listen. Should be the class song of every graduation class, expresses so much that the soul cannot articulate.
Thank you, John Denver.
