CLAY-
His smile warms hearts and breaks them
His laughter brings joy to those who hear it
His gentle teasing makes us laugh at ourselves
His eyes share love and hide pain
His heart cares for those others forget
His stunning voice melts the coldest heart.
His name is Clay Aiken, and we have waited
for him for a
              very
                      long
                         time.
