An army Soldier

He doesn't know where he's going,
but he'll tell you where he's been.
He doesn't know what he'll see,
but he'll tell you what he's seen.
He doesn't know how long he'll be gone,
but he'll tell you how long he has been away.
He doesn't know where he'll be tomorrow,
but he'll tell you where he is today.
When he's down in the gutter please don't sit next to him, for he wants your understanding not your sympathy.
Offer your hand to help and he'll take it when he's ready.
