Diary of a humble man


In times when life was simpler

A humble man was born

When virtues such as love of God,

Family and country were the norm


The harshness of his early years

With toil and tribulations rife,

A passionate love he came to know

That would forever shape his life


And life would impart wisdom

A trait he would hold dear

In years to come he’d get to see

Life’s mysteries more clear


Holding steadfast to his beliefs,

Charging his fledglings to stand tall

Exalting them to scale new heights

To always give their one and all


Throughout the years his legend grew,

And the once young, parents became

Mere words once, would now resonate

And lend more credence to his name


And thanks he’d give to his loved God

For all the blessings he received

For country, family and friends

And the wondrous life that he had lived


Now in the twilight of his years

His life reflecting in the skies

The humble man would bow his head

A twinkle in his aging eyes

Hi there! I noticed your blog is very nice and interesting to me, so I thought I would leave you a comment to let you know that I liked it.

I also would like to invite you to visit me here in San Diego. There you will find my labels, and meditations, and music videos, but mostly my art in different perspectives...

hope to see you soon thank you
