I know a kid

That keeps his cool

Behind the scenes

While everyone else panics on stage;

He's one of those intellects

That no one knows about —

A scholar

That works under dim lighting

With an understanding

Of the world,

Acquired from

An understanding of himself.

His heart holds truth

That most aren't intuitive enough to carry,

And he's not afraid to expose it;

He's a leader.

The children he influences

Are blessed

To receive such a gift from

A division one wrestler

with a division one heart.

I don't know if he knows

That his heart radiates

With a soft,

Humble glow,

But I see it

And I hope he sees it too.
