That picture is so precious. No words are necessary.

The hell you say...

That's My Boss!

When people are in trouble, and all seems to be so wrong,
A man steps forth without the crowd, to be so gently strong,
and demonstrates determination, without being cross
and you're proud to say to all around who hear you, "That's My Boss!"

He calls no attention, makes no pretense, knows just what he needs,
to bring us comfort, resolve and strength - or simply put, he leads;
Just like a pro, he'll deftly field what evil men will toss,
and they just stand in shock and awe, while the troops say, "That's My Boss!"

He's walked with us, he's worn our boots, flown with us in the skies,
a steel glance that withers, if you dare to meet those eyes,
but also, can shed healing tears, as rain on forest moss,
and that lump just will not leave your throat, as you murmur, "That's My Boss!"

So, jaded pol or hardened cynic, meet this noble man,
belittle him, if you dare, or try to best him, if you can,
for even hardest heart will change, and take up America's cause,
and you'll stand along with me, and say with feeling, "That's My Boss!"

That is fantastic! Did you write it? If so, you need to send your entire post to WH, GOP, etc, etc.

Old Sarge,

Great work with the rhyming.

I am a Soldiers Angel for two of our guys in Iraq.
We (angles) send a couple of care packages a month to them.
Snacks, toiletries, and books. I am including your poem with
the next package. I am sure it will make their day.

Thanks

You, sir, are a good poet! That would make a great song if some tunesmith could make a tune for it.

Have you written other poems?

Thanks Sarge.

It has special meaning for me: My brother and his family live in Lebanon OH, and all the kids have worked at that restaurant as hostesses, dishwasters, and cashiers...
