A Man I Once Knew Redone

I know this man who cared so dear Who took the responsibility of another man. He did not have to, this is true. But with a willing heart and a helping hand this man became my friend. He was there when I needed a hug Was not afraid to give you that pep talk While he decided to stay and hang out. I know he could have walked out. For this, I am grateful to this day. then something happened and it was not good. Years went by and times changed we went our separate ways . Been awhile since we have talked I found out your time was short If I could help you in any way I would give you that liver today. I am just letting you know how much you mean to me Before your time comes and I miss my opportunity.

There are some people who really touch our hearts with their generosity and compassion for others. As you describe in your wonderfully uplifting poem, we should offer them thanks! Love, Carolyn PS-I'm away on a fishing expedition until May 5.
