What’s in a name? His name is what he is Rishi, a saint, no one better than this His actions that of his name Innocent, compassionate, loving Words match his tender existence
All he wanted was for peace to be among his kin All he needed was the affection of one swan To fit his half and make him laugh He never asks for much, or rather nothing at all But he prays and prays for the good of everyone Standing alone, yet he fights for them all
His eyes gentle, like those of a lamb His voice charming, like a nightingale at hand His hands that offer so much, is soft to the touch His smile, oh that smile beckons so much His laughter rare, a sound that should last forever Someday soon he shall have just radiance for his cover
His mind that ticks like a well-functioning clock Takes no time to pause or stop Apprehensive that his will may be dropped Yet he strides onward, pushing past fears His courage brimming over the top No one knows how many battles he fought
The Lord is with him And he with the Lord What he doesn't realize Is that he an Angel of Love One that is surrounded by the cold hearts of loss There, there - Handsome Dove, They will all melt, sorrow will be tossed.*
