Encore
you deserve an encore for the love that you've given
for the courage you gave to help others keep living
for the kindness and love temperance and fortitude
the grace from above through you it exudes
the reflection of honor righteousness and truth
for the tolerance of intolerance setting examples with proof
for the humanity and humbleness and so much more
for you and only you i present this encore
there is nothing that compares to the aura you invoke
along with the positive statutes of life you promote
the inexplicable inner-knowledge within you retain
your infallible answers to others that baffle their brains
for your patience with wisdom and so much more
for you and only you i present this encore
for the firmness and the hold you have on reality
for the uncanny talent you posses living through life's tragedies
for the way you rise when you've been knocked down
for your will to survive when loves not around
for your passion in life when life has no compassion for you
for your optimistic outlook of life's overview
for your stand up personality of never back down
of carry a big stick and make very little sound
for your code of conduct and so much more
for you and only you i present this encore
the world needs more people exactly like you
for the light in your heart always shines through
