A Little boy gracefully walked down the street
From his face dropped a tear..
Scared of life..
He was full of fear..
he walked across a old man..
Little did he know..
This is the time of his life when joy
had began.
The man sat on a bench..
Looking into the boys eye..
The boy looked so sad
looking as if he wished to die..
From crying the little boy's eyes were red..
Quietly as the boy walked by
The old man said..
"Come sit by my side son.."
Exactly what was told of him was done..
"Now theres is some things that you must do..
always be happy for what god gives you..
Never be greedy..
And never be sad..
But always be neaty..
And always be glad.
Don't regret but learn from your mistakes.
And try to make it up no matter what it takes..
Always put god first..
Always Do your best and never worst

Put your pride
aside..
don't hesitate to cry..
Dont hide how you feel inside
No matter what some may say..this you must understand..
Crying does not make you weaker but merely a stronger man.
Only a true man with a heart of steel
can show how he really does feel..
But always remember that..
And no matter what comes your way..
Remember to always keep your life on track..
Fallow your heart..and always be true.
And forever joy will come to you
So son..
Take my hand..
And please understand...
I am to leave this world today..
But remember.
never think your life is lonely and gray."
The little boy began to cry..
quietly mumbling,"you are to die?"
The boy hit his knees as he looked up at the sky..
screaming with all his might "but god why?"
the old man quietly said in a reply.
"son do not cry.."
"Because I am sure the lord has a good reason why.
and I am not going to die..
I am old dont you see..
This is how it was meant to be..
I am going to be granted my wings don't you see?"
Just don't forget me...
I will still be with you in your heart in every way.."
The old man slowly began to fade away..
He said in his last breath..
Slowly meeting with his death.
"Just remember what I had to say..
and I promise happiness will come to you some day.
you are my only hope don't betray me..
Don't forget me,
I will be watching over you in every way you will see.
Just remember son..This is how god wanted it to be.."
as the old mans life slowly passed by..
the boy seen an angel fly into the sky....
He than began understand he began to see.
this is how god wanted it to be..
he understood
life is a quest
to find your soul mate..
And a test.
To determine your fate.
a test to see if you could go to
heaven or hell
only you and time will tell.
