At first I saw him as of old;
And wondered what was to shine.
A gentle factual sequence flowed
From perspective's hard earned climb.
 
And as we walked this careful path
So soundly birthed and nurtured more
Within his trusted soul,
So rose the colours in his cheeks,
The blossom of his store.
 
The years of care and tailored food
His soul has rightly formed.
Now living there as trusted friend
We see the streams that mend.
 
The thread was long but the stitches sound
And so the garment formed.
It revealed itself in ample time
In each and every soul.
 
The sower knows the seeds he sows;
In hope of fertile ground.​
