There Was A Man
There was a man who was so humble
When he spoke he merely mumbled
There was a man who once was a boy
And played with fire more than toys
There was a man who fell in love
And mingled with the clouds above
There was a man standing there
Holding a baby with such loving care
There was a man on the beaten path
Yonder to war and met such wrath
There was a man who was so bold
But deep inside he was too cold
There was a man running in the rain
In his eyes was so much pain
There was a man who started the drink
Because he didn't ever want to think
There was a man who was so broken
The words he felt were never spoken
There was a man with so much anger
Those once held close became a stranger
There was a man with so much pride
For his family he lived his life
There was a man who was so wise
Long after time won and took his eyes
There was a man with loving arms
Lost his youth yet not his charm
There was a man who lost his crown
From lofty heights he fell down
There was a man put in the ground
While very few gathered round
There was a man inside my brain
Trying to make me go insane
There was a man......
Note: This was inspired one night pondering over all the men I have come across in my
life. Not romantically mind you, but a few. Everything from the begger on the street,
friends along the way, strangers, or family, etc. Each two lines represents a different
man. Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry.
