Dear William,A thought in


Dear William,

A thought in the dark, but all of the sudden

A single light appears, shining on you.

While I am only in your presence for a second 

It made my heart soar, and like an eagle it flew.

 

As famous as you get, and as rich as you become,

You are still a human, just like me.

All aspire to be you:

somewhat supernatural and a maker of glee.

 

In your old age as you look back on life

Please look back on people that you inspired each night

All over the country, you help someone each day

Please don't forget us as you go on your way.

-Jacob Williams
