Mentor

He taught me many lessons,

ones I cannot soon forget:

"Always give your very best,

so you never face regrets."

On his own, without guidance,

made him wise beyond his years:

"If your sad, have a good cry,

let your hands wipe your own tears."

Through time fake friendships withered,

never had much family:

"Better off being alone,

than around bad company."

Hard at work for a low wage,

money came but rarely stayed:

"Feel no guilt obtaining wants,

needs will be met everyday."

Gave himself to all in need,

and always handed respect:

"If you give, give from your heart,

just make sure to not expect."
