A POEM ABOUT THIS MAN I MET
THE OTHER DAY I MET THIS MAN WITH OLD AND TATTERED CLOTHES

ON HIS FACE THERE WAS A CREASE AND UPON HIS NOSE

THE MAN WAS PALE WITH THINNING HANDS COLD AND WEAK

WHEN HE SPOKE HIS VOICE TREMBLED AS HE TRIED TO SPEAK

HE SEEMED TO BE FAMILIAR TO ME AND TO MY BROTHER

YOU SEE THIS OLD MAN HAD ONCE BEEN MARRIED TO MY MOTHER

"FATHER" I SAID TO HIM AS I DREW NEARER TO SEE

IT IS I, YOUR SON,  YES,  IT IS ME.
