the man that i am

from begining to end

and all in between,

not one second was found

to be left with no deed.

from every detail

like special cuff links,

to the shoes and the shirt

and the suit,

most important.

the tie should be tied

with a fine knot and dimple,

the hair combed just right,

but it's not quite that simple,

it has to be right,

it's the last time

better be sure it's in tact,

till the end of time,

everyone knows,

it's a common known fact,

that the man that i've called

daddy, since day one,

the one who loved me

and called me his son,

is the one that today is the last day i'll see,

and it sucks, it feels bad,

caused i loved him, ya see...

and i ask, not disrespectful,

for one simple favor 

watch over me, dad,

let me not be neglectful

to live out my life

the best that i can,

and be proud to be the man that i am.
