A MAN TODAY.
I MET A MAN TODAY.
HIS FACE WAS FILLED WITH SORROW
I BEGGED FOR HIM AWHILE TO STAY
BUT ALL HE WANTED WAS BREAD TO BORROW.
HE’D WALK A SLOW AND PAINFUL WALK.
I REACHED OUT A HAND TO LEND.
NO WORDS WERE SPOKEN, BUT HIS EYES DID TALK.
THIS MAN WHO HAD NOTHING TO SPEND.
HE TURNED AND WIPED A TEAR FROM HIS FACE
AND I KNEW THIS COULD BE HIS FINAL RACE.
I WANTED TO SHOW HOW MUCH I CARED,
BECAUSE THERE WAS LITTLE ELSE WE SHARED.
I CRIED A TEAR AND HUGGED HIM DEAR.
THANKS I HEARD HIM SAY.
I KNEW I BECAME A MAN TODAY.
E.ROY ANDERSON.
