How rare to see a man
so sure
and confident
Though he worries of his
troubles
and cares
They do not consume him
he laughs
and lives
He takes the time to share
that he cares
and cries
Him self to sleep
alone
yet not
All his memories and realities
of friends
and God
How rare to see a man
while yet a boy
so strong
yet weak
caring
and true.
