One Can Say Of Him

One can say of him that he has known it tough
But he is one who has proved himself good enough
Many in his position today are in jail
But he is one of the few who has refused to fail

The child of abusive parents tough times he has seen
Homeless and on the street at the age of fourteen
Hungry and friendless on the poor side of the town
He knows how it feels to be financially down

Quite a happy man on his twenty fourth year of life
With a pretty two year old daughter and a beautiful wife
Working in a job that he likes with a good take home pay
One can say of him he has come up the hard way

On the streets at fourteen his future looked grim
There is quite a lot to like about in him
Life's toughest challenges at a young age he did meet
His is one of the rare success stories from poverty street

His is a story of success to inspire
In him one can say quite a lot to admire
One in life who was down but refused to be counted out
Of his worth as a person he leaves none in doubt.
