LKH

You made it all bearable.
I didn't ever want to disappoint you.
Your approval was the most important.
You greeted me with a bro nod.
Called me dude.
Showed me the most efficient way to fold.
Taught me how to clean guillotine kennels.
Laughed with me and made me laugh.
I felt for you when you were in pain.
I feel for you now,
Remembering the laughter
The bagels.
The candies after Christmas.
The string cheese you left just for me.
You were so strong.
You had strong opinions.
You always said what you meant
And meant what you said.
Your passion was inspiring.
I will not forget your lessons.
It will not be the same without you.
