I always thought of myself as a perfectionist
Ever the optimist
The guy who gives everyone a lift
The man who gets everything right
Who can ride the storm and find the light
The doctor who soothes the pain
Armed with a tissue to wipe all the tears away
The brick wall that was built to prevent heartbreak
Earth's alpha male, so strong
There to put an arm around everyone
And give them a shoulder to cry on
A selfless soldier brave and bold
The champion athlete who would stride into the arena unknown
And leave it wearing gold
The vital cog in the workings of a family
Who brings smiles to faces
And makes them all happy
Just a man on the street who can work his magic
Life's expert on relationships
One of a very few who can say I love you
And mean it
And have his perfect girl dreaming
Of a future she can believe in
Never beaten like a true fighter
Someone who is able to jump that little bit higher
The indefatigable opponent who'd never stay down
Waiting for the bell to deliver a KO in the next round
Anyone who achieves this blend can rightly call themselves a winner
I thought I was just that
Until I looked in the mirror
