A Man With a Name

Probably the biggest name I’ll write about
The greatest person you’ll ever meet
As shiny as diamond which everyone likes
But remains to be silent like a normal rock

You’ll hear his name wherever you go
There are plenty of things that you should know
Never wears a monster’s mask on his face
Treats everyone well like his best friend

The word glory is not enough for his name
Deserves honor for he inspires everyone
But what does it feel to be on his shoes?
Lucky to be a man who has everything

An educator who has a vision not for himself
His name goes up with the lights
As quiet as silence but as bright as diamond
That only makes him shine – a man with a name!
