This is dedicated to a stranger I stopped to help I did not know him and I didn't even realise he was siick I just knew he needed help So this is dedicated to a brave man with family and friends Who love him fight on Franco. A privilege to be able to help you.
As I went for my drive today I saw a man along the way On a lamppost he was he was lent head down And his back was bent. I stopped to help as he was alone and he ask me toI Take him home So on our journey we had a talk and he told me why He couldn't walk. He told me a thing that had no answer you see this kind Man has got cancer. I spoke to him and I hope I did right by telling him he had To fight. We arrived at his house and knocked on the door And met his wonderful wife who told me more. You see this man's name is Franco a husband and dad And the best friend a person can have. I listened then said my goodbyes trying to hide The tears in my eyes. Live is so cruel and sometimes so wrong but you be like Franco fight and be strong.

a touching poem and recount of your experience with Franco...reading it made me teary eyed. I agree, life is cruel. But you eased this man's suffering by being so kind. He'll long remember you, I'm sure. Have a pleasant day, Paul
