the making of a man...

it is not the mirages that were out there to capture you
it is not the sweet nothings that are out there that's untrue
it is not the music played but it's silent that you can't hear
it is not the beautifully braided alphabet of deceit that's inked

it is the presence of substance in every sentence that you've cast
it is the absence of shadow of doubt that you've seen in every act
it is the matching of the mind and of the words in every path
it is the light that comes when you are lost and needed a helping hand

it is the positive small things that you remember when you walk in that dirty and dusty road, it is the magic that you feel when you remember that someone out there had really cared for you, it is the ultimate rush that when you see the sky, it'll say, smile, it's true and it's not a lie, it is the happiness, the joy, that you've given that is coming back to you

a man is measured by the challenges that he faces in life
a man is measured by his honesty, integrity and his tongue
a man is measured by the way he turns tragedy into a comedy
a man is measured by his conscience which is God in every hearts
a man is measured on how he acts when no one else is looking around
but only him and God, the ultimate test of being just a mere human

give him money and opportunity
and let's see
will he use it for his own glory
or will he share it
and lift others on the way :)
