Everyone Deserves a Poem

I remember Phil Bryant, an English Professor at Gustavus, once told our class: "Everyone deserves to have a poem written about them." When I heard this, I knew it was going to be one of those quotes that will stay with me my entire life. And I hope this concept will stay with you too. Everyone deserves to be cared about by at least one other person to the extent that their existence is celebrated. Everyone needs to know that their life is worth it. Nobody hears their own eulogy. Maybe you don't write poetry. Maybe you don't write at all. Then speak it. Show it. Prove to someone you're happy they're alive. You won't regret it.
