Exception and Order

I shan’t try to recall first meeting you, nor should you claim to remember me,
For when I gazed up in awe at the future legend, I was only three,
Yet, two decades have passed, and I, since, have grown,
Hoping my own will someday look upon one as you,
To realize the remarkable are far and few,
And that my words might but echo wisdom that cannot be bought:
Life, love, and the knowledge that perhaps 'normal' is what you are, and everyone else is not.

Dedicated to Bill Shatner. Should I ever meet him again, being 20-some years out of diapers and able to recall such a momentous meeting.
