Picture

​I'd offer you some water
Or fodder if you'd rather,
Create a cozy welcome
In this my humble kingdom.

Though lacking presents lavish,
My presence is not raffish;
Instead it seeks the gracious 
To share in friendship cautious.

So join me in these moments
Of tentative shy comments.
Let love and hope in common
Our certain kinship summon.
