not today but tomorrow and forever too

he sits then and i watch him..when he speaks of it i can see the pain in his eyes..the hurt in his heart..a man is sick today..not today but tomorrow and forever too..he doesn't let anyone know it bothers him but i know..i can see it..i can feel it when i talk with him..when i sit with him..when i hug him i can feel him slowly wasting away..this is a man who can handle his own..and what you get yourself into..he can talk his way out of anything or he can fight his way out..the choice is yours to make..if you needed he would give the shirt off his back..if you needed it it he would kick your butt..i watch and listen to him as he can make a joke about anything..all day and all night..it never stops..i could have the worst day ever and go there and he would make sure i am okay before i step foot out that door..he talk's about life and what he knows..he knows a lot..more than others..but he is real not like most people you see who talk their crud all the time and act like they know what its like..he has been there he knows up from down..this man has kids..a girlfriend..and many many people around him who love him so much..as we sit and talk i see the joy in his life and i see the pain..we talk about our Lord..and that He is good and that we should praise Him for He is our Savior Jesus Christ..i listen to his words with great understanding for fear that tomorrow they might not be there..i love this man..this wise man..triumphant is the day he walks through the gates..a noble man..a brother in Christ awaiting the day..
