in his shoes

I know someone

 

who is humility defined

 

stoic, full of strength

 

truly one-of-a-kind

 

 

you’d never see him sweat

 

he is one,  who is hard to forget

 

father

 

husband

 

son

 

brother

 

and to me, I call him friend

 

I curse the day should that ever end

 

those who are blessed to know him

 

look to him in hard times

 

but sometimes I wonder what makes our knight truly shine

 

I imagine the thread God needed to sew together such a design

 

a hidden heart where actions speak louder than words

 

one whose soul desire is to observe, learn, and serve

 

an epiphany has revealed a given grace

 

as to why it took so long for us to meet in this place

 

a moment where a friendship that God wanted to use

 

for friend to heal one and save the two

 

by giving perspective of what it’s like to be
