No matter how difficult
life was on him,
he still refused to be a victim.
His attitude was grand,
not typical of a troubled man.
How could this be,
with all of his agony?

Each and everyday,
he wasn't uptight in anyway,
Never mean and evil,
seemed to totally ignore
the devil.
He had a smile
for everyone,
his aura had the glow
of the sun.

Being around him was kind
of intimidating,
but his wisdom
I wasn't eliminating.
I asked,
how can you be so cool?
He stated,
each and everyday I plan,
to be this type man,
no use giving in,
and letting the
devil win.
