The Forgotten Host

The best effort of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

1803-1882

Poet/Philosopher/Essayist

It was a gala affair, so much fun

An abundance of joy in the air

Our host was the invisible one

Few guests had seen him there

On our way home we raved and raved

Such a party he had thrown

On our cameras the fun was saved

Had we let our appreciation be known?

This fine person put such effort into

The gathering that meant so much to most

There was barely time to bid adieu

And spread kudos to our competent host
