It’s been a long spell
When you were knee-high
Something on my noggin’
Reckon there’s something I ought to tell you

Sebastian, listen with open ears…
Where do I begin
Your sweetness and kindness
Ampleness soaked in benevolence
Wrapped in kindliness
Friendliness head-to-toe
Spreading like pollen essence; dog days reminiscent
Innocence embodied in adolescence
Family and friends alike
Not knowing what a stranger was
Welcome arms spread

So sweet
Curious and bewildered by the world
Grit and determination by the boatload
Many of hardships
Things clear like the open sea
Nicknamed “Bass”
Now they call us “Seabass”

A sweet child with a temper
Trouble was your middle name
Never backed down
Got a lot of dirty looks
Fist fights and bullies
Being half Korean and White is a blessin’
Not everyone saw it that way

Money wasn’t a priority
Content with less
Stress-free

A bright young buck
Forever intertwined and embedded in my soul
In my heart, you’ll always remain
All the same
