The Buck Stops With Me Poem by Rusty Ed Gibson

I'm the one that does it
when your not around
The one that did it
before you came to town

I am the one that decides
who stays and who goes
I am the one that pays
the one that stomps toes

I am the one that throws down
when there is a fight to be fought
I am the one that teaches
when there is a lesson to be taught

I am the one that bandages
your elbows and knees
When you have fallen
and start to bleed

I am the one that worked two jobs
when things got tough
The one that did without
so you had enough

I am the one that mows the grass
the one that cuts the trees
The one that takes out the trash
and does it all for free

I am the one that loves you
no matter what you’ve done
That one that cares for you
like a guardian from above

The first one to stand
and the last one to sit
The one that makes you duck
so you don’t get hit

I am the first one here
the last one to leave
I am the end of the line
The buck stops with me!
