‘Oh Captain! My Captain!’

A sleepover, best friends, HBO, movie, cheese balls and chocolate,

And a line that made them laugh and cry,

Robbie Williams magic, the hold of his voice,

Scurried into the heart of a young writer,

As she hung onto his every word for he had a way of

Making her feel special, her talent validated,

He gave power to all the words that seemed to pour out of her,

He made her a dreamer, gave her hope,

She held her head a little bit higher,

Because of all those words he spoke.

He taught her better than any teacher she’d ever had.
