You’re a study to me
content in your calmness
not derailed by desire
nor rotten with bitterness
You cry when you need to
outspoken but reasonable
never screaming, no ill meaning
at your core, only gentleness
An easiness in each movement
you wave everyone in
make integrity and kindness
look utterly effortless
Disarming and charming
you got strong
from lifting others up
as if it’s not that hard to do
You’re a gentle man
and I’m proud my flesh
came from you…
