From Cabin Boy To Grateful Recollections By Old Sailor

Kindness, heart and deep joy, as I remember you
I child, a mere boy, innocent without a clue.
Your attention and love, a blessing warm and true
In Heaven far above, I know you got your due!

I wept day you died, with tears falling hard and fast
Sobbing as I cried, on a ship with broken mast.
Old sailor I now be, sea my sweet paradise
Poor but blessedly free, such may in life suffice!

Years have heavy toll took, yet memory serves well
Friend your teaching good book, freed me from living hell.
Each new dawn I now wake, to precious life you saved
For love and heaven's sake, great sorrows I have braved!

As midnight moon and sky, this heart gifts healing views 
I no longer ask why, some are poor with no shoes
When death's black hand I shake, you words shall my soul save 
Your faith I'll not forsake, Light unto death and grave!

Kindness, heart and deep joy, as I remember you
I child, a mere boy, innocent without a clue.
Your attention and love, a blessing warm and true
In Heaven far above, I know you got your due!

R.J. Lindley, May 19th, 1974
Rhyme, ( New poem, A Tribute To John Greenleaf Whittier )
Seeking a new path, straighter than an arrow flies...

"Ecce apertum est lux et veritas in oculis Aurora scriptor
mollis nati sunt, fulgentibus radiis." RJL
