When I look into the Mirror

Some see me as this gentleman
Who write his words of love
Some see me as I am
A quite man alone

I'm big at Six foot Five
A little rough around the edge
Few have ever challenged me
Those who have have hit the floor

I stand up when country calls
Or to right a wrong
I would never hit a women
And protect the weak when called

Some say that I talk to much
Other ask why I'm so quite
when I look into the mirror
I'm proud of who I see

You might not like my politics
Or for every thing I stand
But you can bet that I'll respect yours
Because that's just who I am

    good

    oh this is good. if this is what you see when
    you look in the mirror then you are lucky because
    this is someone who can live with themselves, look
    in the mirror and be proud. A good man is hard to
    find, but I found one in this writing. good job
    with this.

    This is illiterate. Luckily I am not in your giant and boastful presence or else you would doubtless show your intellectual superiority by hitting me, no doubt taking my glasses off first tomshow what a fucking gentleman you are.....

    This was wonderful and actually gave me goosebumps.. it is true, I love the end, because what people miss the most often, is that understanding that we can disagree does not make us enemies!! Very wise choice of words here.. best of luck to you in the contest!

    outstanding

    Charlie this is awesome. You should be proud of you, cause you describe in this piece every thing in my mind that makes an honorable man. This also describe a wonderful human.
