A Broken Man

A Broken Man. 

A mans heart may fail,  and beat slowly, 
A mans eyes may dim, and not see as clearly. 
A mans strength may weaken, and his pace may be slow. 
A mans thought may be confused with disease. 
A mans voice may change with age. 
A mans touch may be altered with pain. 

But a man is not known by his age or strength, 
But by the friends he has made along the way, 
And by his kindness his life will ever be restored.
