It’s not the words we say it’s that we’re now talking Before this, I was crawling But I’ve stood up and started walking

Dear Friend,

I know tonight you can’t keep it together I can hear you reciting reasons to carry on

You said something kind and I wrote it down so I’ll always remember how much I’m loved

I can’t see you now You’re too far away So I’ll have to do something to remember you

I love that you remember all of your mistakes and can’t stand to see them

This world is full of possibilities Of people that look different It's not enough to ignore them To say “Not my problem” They will still be there If you don't help them Will anyone else?

When we were kids Neither of us could've known All the ways you'd change and all the ways you'd grow

Bringing me comfort when I most need it Soft and warm, shielding me from a world so cold My eternal friends, always there You never judge, you never scold

Includes:

Somewhere warm to hide under during a storm Someone to love when times are tough Something soft to cuddle when it's hard Some reason to keep going even when it's rough

As the three of you begin life's journeys anew Remember everything that our family has taught you
