Tim Smith - I Salute You

Tim Smith is an ordinary sounding name But the Tim Smith I know is anything but ordinary For a male to express love the way he does In everything he writes Is unique and truly a kind hearted soul Most males usually have difficulty Expressing their innermost feelings At the risk of seeming unmanly Tim has no such difficulty He is difinitely in the minority in this day and age And I truly admire him for this To me, Tim is a real man Full of confidence and comfortable in his own skin Tim Smith... I salute you!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

Jack... I think you've found someone as romantic as you are... Youse guys sure know how to keep a girl a swooning. Sigh! Grandpa Troll and Dragon are snickering at me... Honestly! Grandpa Troll and Dragon could learn a bucket full from youse guys. And I don't see any girls follering THEM around! I think they're just jealous...
