The Man of the Street

He was vigilant, observant and generous with his kindness. Only good words are heard from his mouth although he is not your typical goody goody, presentable man, in the opposite he is the man of the street who comes accross people from all walks of life, who works till he sweats just to win his daily bread yet he manages to impress me with his simplicity and humbleness and love for my family. The new family I have chosen for myself. One that I cherish with all my heart. He cares for us maybe more than a far relative and makes sure we re under his protection whenever he's around. His eyes speak words of truth, they glow even in the darkest night with a light of wisdom and a lot of hope as if he was telling me on one of these bad days, that everything is going to be alright. I wonder how much worries and problems he has himself but yet he manages to read every single happy or bad day me or my family go through. God bless him and keep the light shining from his soul. A simple man can touch your heart and the most sophisticated can make you understand what worthless means. Some people are simply more worth it than others and this has nothing to do with who they are, which family they were born to or what they do in life. That man of the street can influence your life just as much or even more than your closest friend can reach out to you when you need it. Some eyes can just tell you what is true and what is right without a word. The silence is sometimes more powerful than words.
