I wrote this in...286, like it says at the bottom, so it is almost 20 years old....yet it carries the same meaning. Thought I'd share it with you all.
_________________________________________
Born not into the trees, but in the light of the sun.
Heart like steel, his prinipals never waivering.
His friendship one of the best around.
His words strike a place, you know they're meant.
Always giving, never taking.
Always with honour, even in times not so great.
A symbol of the city so large.
Synonomous with the name Ysallya itself.
He leads with his heart, which he wears upon his sleeve.
His mind not far behind, always searching for the right answer.
He trains his guildmates with a set plan inside.
The knowledge and character they show, owe some of that to him.
Just the mere thought of him leaving brings a tear to my eye.
What would we do without the man so many depend on.
His compliments bring smiles to my face.
His scoldings make me angry, but I realize that he is right.
I try to be like this man.
But I cannot see.
How he can do this all the time.
Yet still have time for each and every person.
He is a like a father to me.
My source of knowledge and theory.
When he leaves I will be devastated.
But he would want me to continue on.
