Brighter Horizons

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade."
1 Peter 1:3-4
An Ode to UTS

Well, 4pm today marked my final class at UTS - well 6pm did, but I skipped that one! Anyway, to celebrate the impending end of my 3-year degree, I thought I'd write a few tributes - to UTS, Baccs and Credo.

Today's installment - The UTS Tower, officially the ugliest building in Sydney:

A modern engineering marvel,
It stands aloft the streets alone, 
A beacon to the lost in Newtown,
Searching for the way back home.

An affront to God himself, perhaps?
It climbs the sky and claims its space.
A modern Babel's stretch for glory,
Full of beauty, awe and grace!

But judge the book not by its cover,
Judge not a people by their cage,
Joy is found on the concourse couches,
Friends to clutch until old-age.

Ok, so it's not an ode! Poetry was never my strong point.

That brought a tear to my eye...

We will miss you, but you'll miss the concourse more.

Walshy, it's beautiful, and now I am sad. I am about to cry. Three years are over already! My last class is next Tuesday, sigh. Hopefully, they will let me back in next year.
