The Walking Man

I am a man
                                   And, I wear brown 
                                 Hat, but, I am not really 
                               What you think I am
                             Thou, I want to be like 
                                The man you think  
                                    I am, yet, I am 
                                          Not that
                                            Man!
                                         I am rich, 
          I’ve everything in this world, but, I’m not happy
                                For I feel, something 
                               Important is missing;
                              I am poor, but, I do not 
                              Want to be a poor man; 
                                For today, I will eat...
                                    Tomorrow, I will
                                         Not, but still  
                                          I am, the 
                                          Happiest 
                                      Man alive, for 
                                 I have you, my Lord
                               That’ll          make me 
                                 Strong,           happy
                                     Every               day!
