Quite a lad, that boy i'd say <br />Handsome and kind <br />In his own kind of way <br /> <br />Too smart to listen <br />But the first to speak up <br />Like his own old tradition <br />Just to see what's what <br /> <br />A take charge kind of guy <br />Following his own rules <br />Silent, but not too shy <br />Just observant on who's who <br /> <br />Say one thing <br />He'll turn it around <br />Say it again <br />He'll stand his own ground <br /> <br />Never worries enough to cause any <br />stress <br />Never clear enough to change <br />Wanting more of what is the best <br />And the last one to admit any blame <br /> <br />With no chip on his shoulder <br />Because he is the chip <br />Not in the fast lane, just slower <br />Looking for the piece that just fits <br /> <br />Definitely not a follower in anybody's <br />footprints <br />For he insists on making his own <br />Never letting anyone cross over his own <br />fence <br />Where only himself is able to raom <br /> <br />Trying to hide his cares and concerns <br />He will then keep them held inside <br />By himself he sort's it all out and <br />learns <br />If only necessary, will he then confide <br /> <br />And finally he needs others to recognize <br />he's a leader <br />And tells you to stand tall in what you <br />believe <br />Never to let anyone see a side that is <br />weaker <br />For he believes you live with your own <br />creed!<br /><br />Katherine Perry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/austin-12/
