He spoke to me with words of such aplomb
It made me wonder where those words came from
They touched me in a way I'd not expected
Maybe it was the words he had selected?
Though written in a way that he had stressed
My thoughts were moved, and I was so impressed
That somehow he had read my mind and then
Put his words to use, with ballpoint pen
I sat alone and read them several nights
And quietly they put my world to rights
And through his words I felt so grateful too
What a thoughtful thing for him to do.
