Jean Luc, the Captain and the Man

Jean Luc, the Captain and the Man

Bold, mysterious and handsome,
With the eyes that are always on guard,
The mind that relishes wisdom,
That man you will see is Jean Luc Picard.

His adventures began at Farpoint.
He matched wits with obstinate Q.
He remembered his pledge of special service,
and he felt responsible for all of his crew.

Jean Luc fought for Data's legal sentience.
He gave Moriarity a simulated home.
He made Wesley a true working ensign.
And melded with Sarek to reduce the Bendii syndrome.

Picard cherished his home back in LaBarre.
He would visit his brother and wife.
Jean Luc would share many stories with his nephew.
The he would return to his home in the sky and his old life.

He learned metaphors from a captain from Tamaria.
He tried to help Unification with Ambassador Spock.
He felt that the peaceful, honest efforts,
would take work that would last round-the-clock.

Jean Luc based his life on true honor.
He gave his officers the insight that he knew.
For the man who would captain the Enterprise,
He was special and respected, through and through.
