...All I could think of
to give him in return
was a book of my poems - a pointless gift.
But taking it he smiled and said,
"I've been doing some writing too
to get ahead in life!"
And he pulled out from a suitcase old
as the crazy seas he sailed -
something he handed with great respect -
a battered old notebook where he'd written
in big sacred lines
the first few letters
of the alphabet.

This poem makes me happy. Thanks Chris.
