The Men Who Live On The Edge Of The Visible World

This One is for those who live on the edge of the visible world

The hot central american sun beats down on themĀ 
day after day

and they greet it with a smile

All around them the earth and sky collide

Their backyard of beauty amongst the horid reality of their society

They’ve been forgotten, neglected, broken, rejected,

But today they find hope in a farm

The Farming School of Hope

From deep within the mountains of Nicaragua the hearts of revolutionaries beat

these selfless men have taught me what it means to live

their dedication, valor, honor, and courage has humbled me

They are a Cadre of Broken People who are changing their world

They are The Men Who Live On The Edge Of the Visible World

These brave men have taught me so much about life

Although the time we spent together was brief

a drop of water in the bucket of life

their drop of water has created a ripple in my life

Although you may never read these words

I will write them anyways

to tell others YOUR story

the story of the Men Who Live On The Edge Of The Visible World

Ur lives a broken ballad of hurt and despair

but your faces shine like a thousand stars

you my friends have taught me how to love

how to care

how to serve

Every day i think of you and am challenged to be a better man

To make a difference

And I pray that someday our paths collide again

Telling YOUR story

Ben,
