i met
a man
so long ago
that had a heart
made of gold
a man that
thought he knew
everything
to well
he open his heart
in a touching way
he knew how
drinking to ease
his pain
but yet
stated he
didnt have
a problem
but yet
his mind
was set
at stone
he would
help anyone
that was in need
even give his last
dollar and his shirt
off his back
he let his music
come alive
beautiful voice
no need to have a drink
to play his voice
a drink
is a negative note
a poor excuse at that
as our hearts function
but the hurt to see
one drink his life away
shows he often pushes
others away
for holding up a cry
is showing dry
but friendship
is still close by
