Calvin Understands

 

What more is there to say but Calvin understands

He knows my trip was long, things had not gone my way

 

He meets my want, with quiet voice, with skillful hands

Provisions me, that mine should be a pleasant stay

 

At his hotel

 

A simple task to meet a weary wanderer’s needs

Innate compassion for a soul too long abroad

 

Small mercies upon which the human spirit feeds

Are these, able to heal a soul, however flawed

 

At this hotel
