Dave
Listen to poem:
Dave
Everyone needs a Dave.
He checks how you are..
He's the one who sees beauty
Through your feathers and tar
As a friend he is priceless.
As much gold as Fort Knox..
He can see your potential
Lifts that hasp off your box
His message is freedom.
His message is love..
And he'll throw up a good word
To the throne room above
And the thing about Dave is..
He is gentle and kindly
But when it comes to The Fight
He's right there behind me
So we all need a Dave.
That friend who is faithful..
To encourage our journey
When life's more than a handful
For a calm thoughtful spirit.
For that uplifting tone..
Friendly words that remind;
We are never alone
Our Dave is all wisdom.
In his guidance we trust.
But there's a thing to accept
And remember, we must..
To be someone's Dave
There's a reason he blesses..
It's the fire that smelts
All that metal so precious
Every Dave has a story.
You can see through those eyes
It's the forge that has shaped
A demeanour so wise
Persistence in struggle.
Hope in adversity.
Becoming a student
In life's university
So, wherever you serve
Be you Doris or Dave
My cap I will doff.
To be like you, I crave
For you carry the Spirit,
So clearly we see.
And a gift to unshackle
Those who long to be free.
So let's be more Dave.
Blessing off someone's socks
For the world needs more like him
And let's face it, he rocks.
