***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 great

What's next?
A real man
Becomes a good friend
Through his
Infinite patience
Caring
Understanding
Of what someone went through

My divemaster
Is all that
And more
The only person
I trust with my life
Underwater

To keep teaching me
Helping me finish
My open water certification

Will continue until
I get to my
New and final optimal
As a wreck diver

But it's not just
Divemaster
It's the man
Behind the title

Intelligent
Real
Very silly
Knows his stuff
Most importantly
Genuinely cares
About everyone

I've met many
People in my travels
Around the world
And I can say
Without a shadow of a doubt

That this man
Who has already
Been my friend
For 5 years
Will be in my life
Forever more

People come into
Your life
For a reason
A season
Or a lifetime

Lessons to be learned
Experiences shared
Life lived

I am blessed to have
You in my life
I hope we meet
Again soon

To you, my friend
Obrigado
