Who I Need to Be

I’m a man of comfort

And I’m a man of pain

When I sense deceit

A feeling I disdain

 

I tend to smile

At compassion in the world

When people help each other

And the pull between boy and girl

 

The wag of a tail

A mischievous growl

The look of love

A playful howl

 

The nocturnal sky

And twinkling stars

The morning sunrise

In the golden hour

 

I write words of prose

As instructed by my muse

From deep within

Leaving no excuse

 

Giving to charity

To help those in need

Cause that’s who I am

Who I need to be
