Poems for My Family: Clayton
My first best friend.
My co-director and executive producer.
My co-conspirator.
My fellow schemer.
My reason for leading.
My source of admiration.
How to be a friend was learned in your care.
Imagination unleashed with you wherever we found ourselves.
Lies and tall tales strung together with you.
Childhood innocence retired as you stood looking onward.
Modeling leadership with hopes your burden might be lighter.
Lucky enough to count you as one of my personal heroes.
Friendship begins at home, and it began with you.
Thankfully, permission to create was something I never needed from you.
With you as my brother, I learned what it meant to protect someone.
With you as my brother, I learned what it meant to be protected.
No one had to tell me to be your example, because you made me want to be better.
You were a hero cautiously walking on the streets of Iraq, and I attempted to follow your lead stateside.
My first best friend.
My co-director and executive producer.
My co-conspirator.
My fellow schemer.
My reason for leading.
My source of admiration.
Be good to each other,
Nathan
As a member of the factory, you are taking a stand for human powered creation.
