I'm afraid of that man…
Of the things he's done and seen
Yes, I'm afraid of that man…
The world has left him mean
I'm afraid of that man…
I've seen him hurt so many
Yes, I'm afraid of that man…
His very presence haunts me
I'm afraid of that man…
That gaunt face and piercing eyes
Yes, I'm afraid of that man…
He seems he's lost his mind
I'm afraid of that man…
Of the things he could do or be.
Yes, I'm afraid of that man…
In the mirror staring back at me.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.
