Little by little, the word gets out:

A quiet tribute, but never a shout.?

"Rome,” they say,

“Wasn’t built?in a day,"

Neither?It Comes in Tides.

I hope that the book abides?

Like waves embracing the shore.

I ask the poems no more?

Than swiftly to make their way,

And have their spirited say,

And maybe--just maybe--stay.
