the price was too high
for the man of many dreams
the pains are too real
for the man of many scars
the loss is unpardonable
for the man of many truths
yet the man of many men
continues to dream
to write
to speak
to share his soul
his spirit
his pain
and through his strength
his word
his song
continues to teach
revealing the truth
to those of us
who cannot see
