The Man That Can

You closed the door and never came back
Then you made me realize the things I lack
I have to open my eyes to see my flaws
I have to open my ears to hear the call
Lead me where it may I will go with faith
I will go easy and confident and I will not be afraid
The days will be long the nights will be cold
I will find the truth wrong and lies so bold
I will fix what I see wrong 
That has been needed for so long
Someday the world be set straight 
And I’m not going to sit here and wait
When you come back I’ll be a changed man 
The one you made realize he can do what no other man can

This piece is very passionate. I love every bit of it… In fact I must say that you’ve got a golden pen…. Sometimes we get rejected for our inadequacies and we learn from such and become a changed person. Someday the world be set strait And I’m not going to sit here and wait When you come back I’ll be a changed man The one you made realize he can do what no other man can. This form of this poem is verse. So change the “I do not know” I will add this to my favorites.Love Leke

The flow of this poem is excellent. It flows like a songs of praise. Naturally, some are capable of accomplishing what others were unable to do. There is a gift in that, which requires understanding and patience from both sides. Great job and welcome to the Soup! ~Joseph
