"That Man"

“That Man”  



Inspired by Nathan Hall



Who is “That man”? What is his story?

Does he have joy? What gives him glory?

From my observation, I think he’s on a mission, but somehow got lost.

He purchased soo much, but didn’t consider the cost!

What can I say to “That Man”; I barely even know?

What can I share with him, how can we grow?

Although he’s a stranger he gives me this weird vibe.

There’s something soo familiar about him what it is I can’t describe!

His face expresses several emotions, but all at the same time.

We seem to be similar, as if we shared the same mind.

I want soo badly to help “That Man”, but I myself am in need.

“That Man”, that stranger, is crying out for help, he deserves it indeed.

“That man” has had a hard life, sometimes a victim of society, and sometimes of his own desires.

“That Man” better detour from the direction he’s headed before anything else transpires!

I know “That Man” has been given a lot of chances, but he didn’t know what to do.

“That Man” knows it’s not too late for his faith in god tells him it’s not through.

I’m gonna pray for” That Man”, because he needs all the help he can get.

I know “That Man” appreciates my concern even if he’s too proud to admit.

“That Man” is determined to be somebody; and I too share his dream.

Success is destined to be his possession and a boost to his self-esteem.

“That Man’s” characteristics definitely are images often viewed.

“That Man” is not just a” Man “……but a mirror reflection..I conclude!
