My Dear Friend Shawn

February 2, 2023

(For Shawn T)

You lifted us up
You helped us to fly
You were there when we celebrated
You held us when we cried

You helped me to see
that I’m special the way I am
And no matter my trials or hardships
You always seemed to understand

I took it for granted
that you’d be here week after week
But now that you’re leaving
I can hardly find the words to speak

But here they are
My words

I love you so much
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
But you keep flying, and keep being awesome
My dear, dear friend, Shawn
