He watches for when his thoughts veer
From chosen path or course
And then resets his rudder and sails
Gets back upon his horse
He can entertain ideas and beliefs
And not accept them all
Knowing what\'s in his control
He\'s right to stand tall
All he has is the guiding faith
And honest daily prayer
when his backs against the ropes
It\'s hope that drives him there
It\'s not the external wins or loss
In riches or in strife
But in his healthy trust above
That keeps his light alive
He honours himself with truthful words
Refrain from deceitful speech
Not putting words in other mouths
To heal a divisive breach
He knows all speech is persuasion
So he keeps it in good measure
But he can speak firm and strong
To defend his treasure
How he chooses on how to act
Is balanced in stillness
It is in here that he plots his moves
Actions of fulfillness
His decisions recorded in a bar chart
He knows his own limits
And so it flows like escalator steps
Measured in years not minutes
He won\'t regurgitate the food that fills
To prove what he\'s digest
But can show of the tools he has used
By the way that he contests
But to pullout the winning hand
To someone thats still green
Is like Da Vinci giving crayons out
Till Mona Lisa is unseen
He hears the heart of his beloved wife
And tenderly shows he cares
Everyday he seeks to fulfill her life
And carry more than his share
He waters the flower that overcomes
The challenges of her own
And holds her hand in equal clasp
The queen has her own throne
He offers himself to kin and friends
And gets to know their souls
He share theirs dreams as his own
And cheers them in their goals
He offers support but knows his bounds
He\'s aware of his mistakes
And he listens to their reprimands
It\'s a true friend that takes
He belongs to that ancient path
Of patience, faith and love
He journeys along the righteous path
The one that leads above.
