Co Scott 2

It's breaking my soul
to leave you behind.
Your a manager who
showed me
nothing but kindness
You believed in me
and gave me the chance
to prove to you
I was 
worthy of happiness 
Your a rock solid man
hardworking and dedicated
Commanding respect 
and teaching
the undereducated
Your leadership qualities 
have taken you places
And there's 
more work to be done
putting smiles on
underprivileged faces
I wish I was there
to see 
you polish them up
with tasks at hand
and 
sticking to the plan
But, I must go
and pursue my dreaming
Thanks to you
my writing is gleaming
I will never forget
the lessons I've learned
Nor,  the man behind
the
admiration you've earned

I made sure he knows where to find my poems. He's already read some. Thanks Chris. This one made me cry.
