THE MEASURE OF A MAN

Written for a friend -

THE MEASURE OF A MAN


You have to look into the soul
to really know and understand
the man who stands before you
and offers you his hand.

For he has a charm about him
through his words and through his deeds,
that brings sunshine into your life;
Just what this old world needs!

The melody that's in his heart
and the smile upon his face,
takes you to a higher calling;
one that time can not erase.

You can feel the gentle goodness
in each word and in each song;
for every one who listens,
he helps carry them along.

It takes a special person
to give as much as he can;
you only have to hear his voice
to take the measure of a man.

A simple thanks is not enough
for the happiness he gives;
perhaps a prayer from those who care
that his song forever lives!
