I Saw The Man

I saw that man

who kicked the can.

He tossed the map... but he had a plan.
His smile was wide
though his feet were in dirt,
as he held that dog
like tending a hurt.

He walked real steady

towards the growth and the pain.....
looking for truth with practiced aim.

It's said that Love lies under your nose....

in a book, in a face, in her comfy clothes.
The man found Truth in the good and the worse....
and Wisdom in the teeth.... of the Universe.
