I Am One, I Am Many, I Am All, I Am Few

I AM ONE, I AM MANY, I AM ALL, I AM FEW People may say tell me about yourself Kids? Job? Tastes? No I will not tell you these things. I am many things - but these are not me I am one who Is pleased to be a man who is capable; Who can cut it when the pressure’s on; Who hopes for the best, and expects absolutely nothing And as a result, is never disappointed. I am all the things a man should be Like a reliable helper, and not looking for help; A deep thinker who enjoys new thoughts from others; Sympathetic to the needy and downtrodden, Impatient with the rich and aggrandized. I am few of the typical types found among men. Music feeds my soul, as does the smile of a child. Ambition drives me on, but only when I allow it. Mistakes – I’ve made lots, but not the same one twice. Can’t take myself or life too seriously, I just gotta laugh.
