poem for Tavis

Because it is your birthday,

I will become a Cowboy’s fan,

laugh and be petty,

if only for today.

I will celebrate your gifts,

your friendship and your life.

I will wear my ‘Mind of Tavis’

tee-shirt with pride.

I imagine Batman’s wings

silhouetted on the clouds.

Happy Birthday, Tavis!

You are missed.
