Guys Like Me

This poem expresses who I am moreso than alot of what I write, although I put a piece of my heart and sould into everything that I write.

Guys like me don't always get the girl.
We don't sell our souls to get farther in the world.
We rise with the sun and make the best of the day.
Living is a gift, so we are thankful always.
We're the quiet and the strong; the loving and proud,
Though we are silent the message is loud.
We live humble lives and work ourselves to the bone;
Upon the rock of faith we find we are strong.
We stay out of the lights, we don't seek fortune or fame;
We come before God with all of our shame.
Guys like me know we're nothing without his grace;
His blessings overflow; through him we stand pure in our faith.
We're writers, artists, builders, and poets.
We pass you on the street but you wouldn't even know it.
But if you took the time to look you'd find a gentle soul;
Someone with care and compassion; qualities that never grow old.
We have our stories to tell, and we're honest to the T.
We fight for our faith and for our families.
We don't have the flashiest cars, alot of money or the newest clothes;
We're thankful for what we've got, and know we've got many miles to go.
Sometimes this narrow path is lonely; it can pierce you to the bone,
But by the grace of God we know we will one day reach our home.
We are saints and we are sinners, princes and paupers.
We believe in values this world seems to have forgotten,
Yet we are the leaders; the hope for tomorrow. The Lord is our shephard, and we choose to follow.
So this is my message to all guys like me; the loving, the pure, honest, and free.
Let not the world shaken your stand; hold true to the promise; the law of the land.
As messengers we stand, the humble and proud,
MAY OUR VOICES BE SILENT, BUT THE MESSAGE BE LOUD!
