A boy who live in the Men Heart :)
This is the story of a boy who lived inside of a man,
The boy and man were the same person, with one heart
but two minds between them.
When the boy wanted to run, the man would walk.
When the boy wanted to cry, the man would shout.
When the boy wanted to play, the man would work.
The boy and the man did not see eye to eye on much of anything,
except when it came to matters of the heart.
Both the man and the boy loved and shared alike.
One day the man decide to change himself
and the boy was scared.
He feared he would be forgotten or left behind
with all the other passing memories in time.
But the man reassured the boy that he could not be forgotten.
Because who he had been, and he would become,
were one and the same, and they would always remain alike.
This helped soothe the frightened boy
and on that fateful day, both the boy and the man
learned what strength was made of.
At first, many people did not respect the man's wish
to be humilated and looking down on his personality in the beginning the man was defiant.
But the boy inside reminded him of tolerance,
and this is how they both learned what patience could accomplish.
After some time had passed the man grew wiser.
But the boy remembered all the sad stories- stories of other
little boys who had faded into memories.
So, he made it a point to hold on.
He focused on remaining strong.
Then, one day, the man was called for National Service.
The boy might have gone, but the man knew better.
He knew that if he went, the innocent boy inside---- his better self--- would be lost forever
So both the boy and the man learned courage.
After the man took a stand, holding onto his religious beliefs,
he was stripped of all that the world thought made him special, and the boy became a survivor.
On that day the boy and the man embraced forgiveness.
For the man knew that if he did not let go of his pain, their heart would harden.
After much time had passed,
after struggling to carry on , the man was vindicated and his career returned to him.
Although for man forgave, the boy remembered the pain.
Yet, through this ordeal the man learned ,
what faith insured, and the boy learned to endure.
Although the future proved promising and the life of the man
was rewarding, he would face many obstacles
and would continue to be tested.
And though all of the joy, laughter, tears, and pain,
the boy inside the man lived to tell the story.
He survived to share the glory.
