Written about Bob Richards, olympic champion and motivational speaker who impacted my life in a very positive way at age 21

"More Than A Man"


He is more than a man,
who lifts another up,
who convinces us all that we can,
and inspires greatness - through his giving.


Who plants a seed of hope,
deep in someone else,
then watches it blossom and grow.
Someone who never lets you down.
No, he is more than a man.


He is someone to lean on,
though he may not be near.
And just the thought of his belief,
can help us master our fear.


He is, which inspires us to be.
Our faith endures,
with his enthusiasm as our memory.
Yes, he is more than a man,
he is the messenger of our inspiration.
