A Man Full of Stories

He’s back, he just appeared at the door.

A man full of stories, a man full of life.

Stories of day and stories of night

Stories of darkness and stories of light

He’s dusty from the journey, the journey of years

A man full of stories, a man full of tears.

Stories of tragedy and stories of mirth

Stories of death and stories of birth.

He’s a believer, a spiritual thinker,

A man full of stories, a man full of soul

Stories of visions and stories of thoughts

Stories of crosses and stories of noughts.

He’s followed his pathway, his way through the world

A man full of stories, a man full of passion,

Stories of sinners and stories saints

Stories to sketch and stories to paint.

He’s here for a reason, I know yet what

A man full of stories, a man full love,

Stories of family and stories of friends

Stories with beginnings and stories with ends

… he’s just come home to tell us his story.
