Arlene Smith Poet Acrostic

Loveliness

Let me touch thy weathered hand,
outstreached to serve me alms.
Veil not thy face of elder years;
eyes overflowed with love.
Let me remember all my days,
I knew loveliness as you.
Need is such a painful state,
each day but slivered hope.
Stay with me a little while;
speak wise and lovely dreams.
