We who write salute you
A/N: For those who love the show I write this for you. For those who enjoyed Newkirk's antics this is for you. For those who recall everything else that Mr. Dawson did this is for you. For the family of Mr. Dawson this is for you because I too know the pain of losing a father. My own died last August of cancer. Finally to Newkirk or Dawson himself, We who write salute you!
The stars fade out,
The howls don't hoot,
All is dark,
In remembrance,
Of a man.
He was no king,
Nor prince of thieves,
But a soldier of light,
When all was night.
Fight on dear Peter!
With your witty tongue,
Your sleight of hand,
Your appreciation for women,
Those safe cracking fingers.
A most loyal friend,
To all you remain,
Thanks for the laughter,
That brightened our day.
We who write you,
Love you so,
Our hearts are mournful,
On this dreary day.
Goodbye Mr. Dawson
Or Newkirk if that be your name,
In our hearts you shall remain.
THE END
A/N: I based the title 'We who write salute you' off the old Roman adage of the gladiators saluting the Caesar 'We who are about to die salute you.' Newkirk shall be missed. Please review if you too share these feelings.
