To Dave, whose heart is vast and true,
A guiding light in all you do.
Your kindness shines, a gentle force,
With every step, you stay the course.
A friend, a crush, a soul so bright,
Your warmth turns shadows into light.
Handsome as the stars that gleam,
A living legend, or so it seems.
Once you rocked the punk scene loud,
Now in sound, you stand so proud.
A craftsman of the finest art,
With music, you touch every heart.
A Buddhist soul, calm and wise,
You see the world through deeper eyes.
Your journey long, your path so clear,
In every step, there’s peace and cheer.
The stray cats know your tender touch,
For you, they’re loved—just as much.
In your backyard, they find their way,
A symbol of your heart each day.
In Disneyland, you find your joy,
Like a prince who never acts coy.
Yet, it’s in quiet moments, too,
That your strength shines, ever true.
You cook with love, you give with grace,
In every meal, a warm embrace.
And though our friendship’s still new,
It’s clear to me, it’s rare and true.
So here’s to you, Dave, my dear friend,
A kindness that will never end.
In all you do, in all you are,
You’re the brightest, most enduring star.
