Goodnight, Old Sport
A Poem of Loss & Remembering
Published in

Bright star-
your face lights up like Christmas
when you see me-
open your arms of acceptance
and little boy excitement
My Brother-
every space you occupy
is yours for the taking-
everyone is there for you
thriving in your presence
My Friend-
late-night gab sessions & dancing gigs
at bars where music and lights
help us forget
the pain of insecure existence
I will always remember the way you never made me wonder my worth and your love for me while this world was not worthy of you and all are lost without you
Goodnight, Old Sport
