If you could see me now

what type of man

would you say I am

If you were still here

what other things about

life would you teach me

you were so generous

and kind

you gave never

asking for anyting in return

your silent miracles

went without praise

they went noticed

but today I thank you

for always being the man

I soon hope to be

If you could see me now

what would you think of me?
