~ That Adam ~
That Adam.
Had the pleasure to meet him.
An honest man,
faithful ... trusting, relying in God ...
He's centered!
Lives his life,
strait from the heart.
Can do the math.
Found him shreding wood today;
with his thumb.
Stands ...
right smack dab in the middle.
A common man.
Can break down a ruler by half.
Be it whatever the width, length, depth ... or height.
Lives his life full throttle ...
places himself right there in position
first thing in the morning.
Got a bum knee ...
but still ...
he hits the ground
just a running.
Knows ... life's just one big grey area!
A free for all
freefall!
Knows just when;
to pull the shoot!
Believes life's a perfect science.
He's everything but ... off kilter.
Maps his life out in his head.
Something doesn't quite figure.
Holds his head high.
Waves his white flag of surrender.
Takes it all as it comes.
Called out to me one day,
threw out his hand,
sat me down beside his confidence ...
offered me a beer!
Walked up,
started today matter of fact,
or so to speak!
Building a porch with him now.
Plan to secure it with a roof,
sealing fan ... lights,
the works.
Working-hard ...
to live in peace.
A humble man of God;
building up his simple life,
through-the-mercy-of-his-hand.
One mighty hand,
gentle, true like few
that Adam.
So-hey-man!
Me ...
wouldn't-even think to-cross-him,
because-my-friend;
I sure can respect him;
for this!
So-if-any,
there's a plan,
your betting on.
Well ...
you'd be best to have another look!
Because bud I tell you his hand ...
man it's capable!
He can level a porch,
with it too!
So if in fact,
you ever feel he smarts you ...
and were you,
to dare!
I don't know I tell you!
Take care!
"Pull the shoot" bud!
Though I just met him myself.
a good old boy I like him.
So before you get to jumping!
Friend ...
maybe you-should too!
Because to be true with you friend,
I haven't a clue.
But sure,
I'll bet you this!
Don't know what else he can do!
"Working with him today myself,
and I figure I know now ...
"he's a good man that Adam".
