"JohnnewHall is here"
trumpeted throughout
the old farm house.
Announcement went
from person to person.
It was special
when Johnnewhall came.
It was like the good humor
Ice cream man was here
or an English lamplighter.
As an adult he says
it wasn't that often.
But it was such an excitement--
He would arrive--
like the bright sun
with warmth galore for all.
JohnNewhall--
Whenever seen in later years
an event.
A warmth generator
with a shoulder and hand for everyone.
