He normally didn’t care about his reputation

Others could go screw themselves if they wanted to judge him

Now though, his whole world was flipped upside-down

On this day he had become a father

Responsible to this precious little girl…

Giving worth to mastery of knowledge

Receiving a letter to honor that feat

Allows the recipient to show others their level of competence of the subject

Despite lack of proof otherwise

Expecting you to accept their expertise

Serendipity (an acrostic poem)

Sometimes it’s those flukes of luck that change the world

Everyone thinks it is greatness, but so much is being in the right place at the right time

Realizing that you are in that moment for a reason

Engaging in what needs to be done to create your new normal

Now sometimes it is pure happenstance

Dumb luck if you will

It can be such a blessing

Perhaps it was more than that, though

It was a break waiting for you to come along to happen

That you were, for that moment in time, the chosen one

You just need to accept the honor

Honor (an acrostic poem)

How to be something bigger than oneself

Obeying laws that define their being

Now they move with purpose

Obliterating doubt

Relying on their morality

Easier (an acrostic poem)

Every day was hard for Simon

At least he could reward himself with a beer after work

Sitting on his bar stool he raised his glass to no one

I drink in your honor he thought

Everything began to fit into perspective

Relaxing as put back down the glass and left the bar

Turkey (an acrostic poem)

To all the people brought together today

Unified in a vision of thankfulness

Remember those that can’t make it home

Knowing they are where they need to be

Even if they want to be almost anywhere else

You should lift a drumstick in their honor

Oath (an acrostic poem)

On my honor I swear to you

All my passion and my courage

To the betterment of humanity

Honoring the individual equally
