A Lonely Man

Year poem was written: 2013

      I once met a man as I sat upon a bench,

        his spirit seemed scarred yet his heart pure.

      When I sat down he greeted me kindly,

        "Hello young man." is all that he said.

 

       I greeted him back and continued with a question,

        "Why do you appear so sad and broken?"

      The man smiled in thought before wisely replying,

        "Because I lack brotherhood with my fellow man."

 

       "If you lack your brotherhood why do you smile?"

        Was my response.

       He only said this before leaving,

        "I smile for I still cling to hope."
