Life by Example
One of the best men around
Amazingly strong of character,
Confidently tragic his situation be
Where brightness shadowed by pain
By suffering same
Thriving like Phoenix
Risen from flame
Tragedy in waiting
Brighter than all
Brighter still for coming through
Awakened in heart and mind
Shunned for differing being
Uncomfort made known
When shown how well others
Lives made hell by bitch and moan
Seeing all with humility’s eyes
Aloneness he lives
While they curse their lives
Betterness had if selfishness left
A lesson he lives
Example to teach
