There is one man
Not often does God make one like him
A man of few words
But a man of great deeds
The innocence of a child
The wisdom of a saint
The skill of a surgeon
The courage to fight
The ambition to grow
The manliness in defeat
The heart to take it all
That heart of gold
We watched him teary eyed
As he took his final lap
In the end, hearts was all that mattered
And he had won them all!
He, the Perfect Gentleman.
