Barry and Alice

There are few I choose
To write about.
The words just flow
Through me.

Eloquence, as usual,
Escapes me.
Simplicity will have to do.

You honor me
With your homeplace.
Your friendship
Warms my soul.

Your family's comfortable acceptance
And free expression of their selves
Reflect your good and steady light.

Hail to you, true friend.
Praise be to you and yours.
This voice will always sing for you
In darkness and in light.

Reach out
If ever you should need me.
Forever my best for you.

December, 1980
