You take me up
Don’t take me down
You’re not a peacock
Or a clown
Your no brand clothes
Don’t look funny
Your naturalness
Is sweet as honey
You’re not concerned
About what they see
The man inside
Is what is key

He’s so young doing that Nancy Sinatra song! Watched his memorable performance of ‘God is in the house’ a few days back on Jools Holland.

And so poncey. Should have called themselves “The Nancy Boys Next Door”.
Here’s a bit of relief.

Really like the raw sound of this. Thought he was going to get his top ripped off at the end. Lol.

This piece is refreshingly sincere and quietly powerful. It celebrates authenticity over performance, substance over spectacle. The gentle rhythm and simple imagery let the message shine: true worth lives in character, not display. There’s warmth, respect, and admiration woven into every line—an appreciation of someone who lifts others simply by being real. A lovely reminder that naturalness and inner strength never go out of style.

I love this beautiful poem. It says so much about both the person you’re describing and yourself as well. What we admire in others, is often within ourselves.

Thank you so much Judy. I appreciate that. As I’ve got older, I find I enjoy balanced, down to earth, sensible, no nonsense type vibes in my life. Maybe I’m just getting old!
