with pointed grey goatee and moustache
hair combed straight back
white collar over black coat
he shakes your hand solemnly and you invite him in
he regards you with half-closed serious eyes
and you serve him a cup of coffee
he takes it black
he is quiet until you ask him about his children
and then he comes alive
using words like
gift
potential
joy
faith
love
proportion
time
praise
and integrity
his pointed words strike a chord deep within you
notes bright clean
impeccable
