***Dedicated to Gustavo Buratto; for his friendship, patience, understanding, caring, hard work, and humility.***
When one thinks
Of a diving instructor
They can teach
Be funny
Ok greatWhat's next?
A real man
Becomes a good friend
Through his
Infinite patience
Caring
Understanding
Of what someone went throughMy divemaster
Is all that
And more
The only person
I trust with my life
UnderwaterTo keep teaching me
Helping me finish
My open water certificationWill continue until
I get to my
New and final optimal
As a wreck diverBut it's not just
Divemaster
It's the man
Behind the titleIntelligent
Real
Very silly
Knows his stuff
Most importantly
Genuinely cares
About everyoneI've met many
People in my travels
Around the world
And I can say
Without a shadow of a doubtThat this man
Who has already
Been my friend
For 5 years
Will be in my life
Forever morePeople come into
Your life
For a reason
A season
Or a lifetimeLessons to be learned
Experiences shared
Life livedI am blessed to have
You in my life
I hope we meet
Again soonTo you, my friend
Obrigado
