(For Shawn T)

You lifted us up You helped us to fly You were there when we celebrated You held us when we cried

I love the way you walk the way you move the way your emotions speak through you

(For Andrea)

Bouncing with joy Bursting with life Even when the world is filled with nothing but strife

(For Denali)

Beautiful and radiant full of love, that’s you Once someone meets you they couldn’t possibly argue

I don’t feel beautiful today I can barely get up and move Why bother pretending anymore? What am I trying to prove?

(For Ryn)

You’re always you With a bright smile and colorful hair you’re one of a kind No one else can compare

(For Matty P)

When the rest of us are lost You help lead us to safety Calm in the face of turmoil Even when we are feeling empty

There’s so much love in me and I finally have a chance to share all these feelings inside There are finally people who care

When you smile your whole face takes part so I know that it’s real And you’re truly happy

You shared your light with someone special But they made you feel oh so terrible The support and love that you always bring so many people decided they didn’t need Now you’re here, sad and afraid Wishing so badly that they’d all stayed I can’t understand why people pushed you away I know it hurt you, but anyway I guess that means there’s more of you for me
