Legacy of East CarolinaMany years ago, when my mind needed to grow,
East Carolina was the place I chose to go,
An education I considered second to none,
With added experiences for a lifetime when done,
Memories of that special place remain very strong,
Even after 39 years, my feeling cannot be wrong,
That beautiful campus with a charm of it's own,
Is frozen in time and will never be gone,
For a true pirate, it takes a lifetime you see,
Purple and gold runs through every inch of me,
Time passes by with great speed every day,
But I remember my time there in a special way,
After all is said and done, I feel lucky, indeed,
To have attended East Carolina and planted the seed,
That has grown over a lifetime inside of me,
To love and admiration of a great University.
