Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Tim Smith - I Salute You

Tim Smith is an ordinary sounding name

But the Tim Smith I know is anything but ordinary

For a male to express love the way he does

In everything he writes

Is unique and truly a kind hearted soul

Most males usually have difficulty

Expressing their innermost feelings

At the risk of seeming unmanly

Tim has no such difficulty

He is difinitely in the minority in this day and age

And I truly admire him for this

To me, Tim is a real man

Full of confidence and comfortable in his own skin

Tim Smith... I salute you!!!
