Good man 

A wise man graduating top of class in highschool 

Continuing at west point majoring in engineering 

Even becoming an author

Good man 

A brave man saving others showing selflessness and putting oneself at risk 

Braving the caves of south east asia not knowing what you will encounter 

Leaving those you love behind to serve your country ultimately leading to your demise 

Good man

 Every November on a cold winter's day 

I come to your grave with less and less to say 

My mouth opens like a void able only to produce two words 

Good man.

This piece is special to me because it is about my very own grandfather and his accomplishments over his lifetime.
