My Chief

He holds me close and let's me know
That somehow i'm his hero
I've never felt so proud so tall
I live to be all that

He doesn't give to others like
He gives to me and wow
I've never been so honored just
To be seen as all that

And in his normal moments
Seems a bit lost in his thoughts
Introspective, somewhat sad
Such an old man in disguise
And the others they all tell me
I should show some more concern
Bout the nature of his being
As if i don't have a clue

They will never know the wonder
Of the bond that lies between
They can keep their words, their advice
For some other lost misguided

Doesn't play games
Hard to make him smile
Or laugh out loud but still
He has such joy and depth of soul

If there is anything that I
Worry about in this world
Is that he gets discouraged
By too much, too soon, too hard
And I strive to lighten all that
But he isn't one to take it
So we sit in retrospection both
And I hope for all the best...

For my Chief
