Two Voice Poem: Arthur & Mr. Hampton
Arthur
Mr. Hampton
I just thought he was the “junk Man”
An unexpected friendship
He bailed me out of juvie and handed me a list
The list had seven items,
What seemed like plain junk
More than meets the eye
Lightbulbs, Foil, Mirrors, Pieces of wood…
Together
The Throne of the Third Heaven
He didn’t give up on me.
He called me Saint Arthur.
We grew together
He encouraged
Valuable lessons
We
Better Together
I saw him as the boy who tried to hit me with a brick
An unexpected friendship
I needed his help and knew he had potential
Important items that is.
Held lessons of beauty
More than meets the eye
Glass bottles, coffee cans & cardboard
We built
The Throne of the Third Heaven
The boy who threw a brick at me
He was the one who saved me.
We grew together
He was persistent
Were Learned
Are
Better Together
