Good Man

Listen,  through your pain I saw a flicker of hope

That dangled and shone bright amongst the darkness

It fuelled your courage and you stood up and proclaimed you were good

Undefeated by the rage that consumed you

You still proclaimed you were good

Even though the walls came crumbling down around you

You found the courage to proclaim that none shall take away your spirit

That through all the pain you feel you can with every breath

Still stand tall and proclaim that none shall blow you around

Like leaves on a windy day

You proclaim that you shall stand firm in your beliefs

Even though sometimes even taking a breath in the morning

Seems to be the greatest challenge

Getting up and simply taking that first step is more painful

Through all that pain you remain grateful

And you still proclaim that you are good

BY good I mean that you are not wavered by the crises of life

You remain steadfast in your faith and

The trust you have in yourself forever grows

You remain unshaken by the gale force winds of life

That forever promises to tear you apart

It is your courage and faith I admire and the fighting spirit that you yield

It is in the way you uphold yourself in the clashes of despair

When all forces conspire against you

When everything seems to be darker then the darkest of days

It is then that you rise up and still proclaim that you are good

That is what I admire most about you my good Man
