He Walked Softly On the Earth

2-12-11   He Walks Softly on this earth 

  I knew the man well, the man who walked the earth softly,I couldn’t tell at the time,for I was blind,

He encouraged me to make my load lighter,I took for it granted and took all that I could find,

When I was down ,he is who I looked up to,when I was up, I only saw his smile, 

  I wish now that he were around ,Only on his headstone dol I find,The man who walked the earth softly,
