‘Oh Captain! My Captain!’<\/p>\n
A sleepover, best friends, HBO, movie, cheese balls and chocolate,<\/p>\n
And a line that made them laugh and cry,<\/p>\n
Robbie Williams magic, the hold of his voice,<\/p>\n
Scurried into the heart of a young writer,<\/p>\n
As she hung onto his every word for he had a way of<\/p>\n
Making her feel special, her talent validated,<\/p>\n
He gave power to all the words that seemed to pour out of her,<\/p>\n
He made her a dreamer, gave her hope,<\/p>\n
She held her head a little bit higher,<\/p>\n
Because of all those words he spoke.<\/p>\n
He taught her better than any teacher she’d ever had.<\/p>\n
