Look beyond this exterior

love me;
not for the colour of my skin, or the clothes that I wear
my exterior will eventually change
what is within will stay

brought up on loyalty, love and respect
I use these values everyday

an athlete rain or shine, my mother by my side

bad grades, my dad never cared, just do your best

the baby, I was some what spoilt, still am

rough seas I would swim for loved ones

friends and family
I will take you under my wing and in my heart
where they stay forever

laughing is the best medicine
smart and independent, I am always fair

not a fighter, but if you annoy me
I will kick your butt

words in confidence are never shared
but I will tell you as it is

words promised, always followed through

my eyes hold the truth, my heart holds love

love or hate me
there’s no in between

      I'm glad you worked out not to p me off friend. I'm a lover not a fighter, but, I also have horns that can kill. Anyone that messes with me or my family & that includes friends, well just say they better hide. I'm an Aussie that will hunt until I find my prey.
      Ta for stopping by Mike.
