You put a sticky note on my desk and time stopped.
I wrote back and my heart stopped.
My grandpa died today.
You didn't know about it, but you were there for me.
Your smile was so warm.
Your voice was so warm.
Seriously you got a voice.
Your poetry was so warm.
Your company was so warm.
And the fire was so warm.
Twenty seconds of courage and nothing could stop me.
Destiny was calling.
This legend was to be written in the stars.
The Constellations knelt down and whispered in my ear,
"Pass the note" they said.
Time stopped.
My heart stopped.
My hand stopped.
My mind stopped................but the music kept playing.
The Constellations kept singing.
Destiny kept calling.
And my life "just kept swimming".
I heard the Constellations speak.
They spoke of future.
They spoke of courage.
They spoke of you.
Thank you,
T'was quite lit.
