THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN THE WORLD Today you held me a little longer as I left home for the airport I could feel your bones through your skin and hear your heart beat The heart that poured out unconditional love to me for more than four decades I remember the nights I hugged you close trembling because of the monsters in my sleep Your vest, wet with my sweat as I found slumber in ur nest Today you held me a little longer while the cab awaited to take me to the airport You who I have never seen shed a tear, Who has been the source of all my strength, Seem suddenly so fragile that I felt myself rooted to the spot Unable to move… And then you gently released me and nudged me on like always I remember how tense I was when I had to come out to you And you smiled and told me that I was not alone, And that I was brave And that I was loved And that made all the difference to my tomorrow For me you are the most Beautiful Man … Baba.
