A GOOD WRITER

Jim Vaca
Was the best writer
In college
He won awards
And his picture
Was published in
The news papers
I liked him
We would talk
About writing
And poetry
And intriguing stories
Jim was gifted
And Jim was poor
(Blessed are the poor
Someone famous once said)
Years later
I saw him
On a public bus
He seemed homeless
And in need
I wish
I had done
More to help him.
