To the girl who reached out about a year and a half ago

To the girl who helped me write a way I didn’t even know

To the girl who’s not only a boss but a friend

To the girl who I am so thankful for

And the one I can talk to day's end to day's end

Thank you, thank you, oh so much, Bri

My writing and poems will never begin to explain

How much you mean to me and this team

Words will never explain the sadness that we will all feel when you leave

August is only a few short months away

My writing and me though, are here to stay

We all know you will pick such a great E-I-C

We hope you pick someone who continues your legacy

It’s only April, and the sun is starting to shine

Maybe not in Philly, but in Sac, it’s real bright

You’re not just a friend, colleague or a boss

You’re more than that, you like, frickin’ rock

This poem was not very easy to write

Nor was there a dry eye of mine

Brianna Cicero, you’re such a queen

Queen B, my friend and my lead

I end this poem with so many emotions

I end this poem from one coast to another

We will forever be friends on Facebook

But in real life, don’t even think you’re off the hook.

I’m gonna miss your emails, shout-outs in slack,

Your constant good jobs and your sometimes rejects

Thank you for being one the definition of a friend,

You carry such a heavy place in my heart, my dear friend.
