Thank you, Mr. Chaplin
for the wonderful things you've taught me.
Thank you for the laughter and the tears
that echo throughout my being today.

Thank you for befriending the friendless
and showing us that even the blind can see love.
Thank you for helping the misfits
and proving we always matter to someone.

Thank you for speaking the language of love
and standing up to the wrongs of the world.
Thank you for saying the things
that nobody else would say.

Thank you for teaching me
how to be compassionate
how to laugh and
how to love.

My hearts breaks to see you turn away.
But it will never forget what you've done.
Please don’t walk away Mr. Chaplin!
The world still needs you.
