The Gift

For Bobby Jack Nelson

Older, more generous,

We give each other hope.

The gift is ominous:

Enough praise, enough rope.

This is from The Norton Anthology of Poetry (Shorter Fourth Edition), edited by Margaret Ferguson, Mary Jo Salter, and Jon Stallworthy, published by W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1997.
