You've been there with me,

in years past,

often my only friend.

I can catalogue each song as

it dovetailed with my life moments.

Your words were my companions,

teaching me truths,

voicing frustrations, injustices

laughter and tears,

I can never express so eloquently as you,

the ways you've touched my soul.

Happy Birthday Mr. Dylan

Happy Birthday Bob,

'May you stay forever young'.
