How is this poem.............................

From the far east, he came


In clothes torn and worn


Hand hurt, back bent and leg lame


No valuables, did he adorn





A thin old man, he was


Hair uncut and beard unshaved


For as many years as he was


No essence of youth, he saved





A familiar face, he possessed


Of virtue, wit and wisdom within


Jeers followed him, then jests


Being mocked, he did not grin





Held his head high, he did


Though men laughed and leered


Any shame he had, he got rid


To where I was, he neared





To each other, we faced


Ruined and wrinkled face of his


Against mine, we embraced


Couldn't as my reflection, he is
