When I Think "Tyler"

When I think “Tyler,” I think:

Crazy and genius,

daiku-san and oisha-san,

Caregiver, Caretaker

Carefree, and Careful.

When I think “Tyler,” I think:

Big hands and tiny paper dinosaurs,

Big heart for tiny rodents,

Big laughs at Tiny Timmy,

Big dreams in tiny notebooks.

When I think Tyler, I think:

Silent brooding thoughts

Exploding sound effects,

Unravelling plots

Weaving stories,

Shy with the ladies,

With a dang good woman by his side.

A warrior and a peacemaker,

A pyro and a poet.

A man of paradox.

A man of integrity.

When I think “Tyler,” I think “love.”

...Today he turns 26, so give him a holla!
