I am a man
I professed to be
someone strong and bright
with pride, honor and might.
I have wisdom
I professed to be
a leader quite witty and smart
with humor, candor and heart.
I can fight
I professed to be
somebody who can conquer
a defender, challenger and no fear.
I have love
I professed to be
a lover who gives joy
to all, to my wife without ploy.
Above all
I professed to be
A man of humility who prevails
in all adversities, trials and fails.
