First Impression

Two months have elapsed 
since I met Kapur my new friend
At a first nation men's group gathering
 which we both attend

Kapur an unusual name took a while but now easily recalled
A big gentle man at first seemed rather shy
Not much to offer, my first impression, misguided,  I'm now appalled

Together Kapur another friend and I
helped a couple resurrect some garden beds
Amazed at Kepur's knowledge 
much transferred and now stored inside my head

His broad knowledge of family
His broad knowledge of lore
His broad knowledge of language
 more time to spend together I desire to learn more

Today a very brief conversation
his intended weekend activities revealed
Two events to play piano in a reggae ensemble
much pleasure to be enjoyed from the talent he will yield

Kapur I am blessed you've become my new friend 
We'll continue to meet at the men's group we attend
