Accidental Poet

I’m a Man of Many Things

I’m a man of passion

I’m a man of pride

I’m no millionaire but

There’s more to me than meets the eye

I’m a man of family

I’m a man of friendship

There’s no quarrel

That can’t be mended

I’m a man of good work ethics

I’m a man of respect

If it’s honestly earned

It won’t be from neglect

I’m a man of faith

I’m a man who’s spiritual

I believe there’s someone or something

That loves us all equal

I’m a man of elation

I’m a man of sorrow

I reminisce of yesterday

But I look forward to tomorrow

I’m a man of Nature

I’m a man who cares

For all living species

This Earth for all to share

I’m a man of thoughts

I’m a man of words

There within my heart

My muse surely heard

I’m a man of innocence

I’m a man of guilt

Like a flower with no rain or sun

Without love I’ll begin to wilt

I’m a man of love

I’m a man of emotions

For a lovely lady

She’s my truest devotion

I’m a man of loss

I’m a man of life

I’ve loved the same woman for over fifty years

 Though she’s not my wife

I’m a man of lessons learned

I’m a man of many things

With my feet on the ground

That lady gives my heart wings
