Excellent poem my friend! The poem flowed freely and wasn't forced at all so good job;-) I loved the imagery as well as the piece being well written!

Thanks so much for sharing and may God bless you and your family;-)

Dear Roy,
My heart gushes when you praise and do a tribute to others. The kindness of your heart shines brightly for others. It's a shame there aren't many more like you.

Hugs, Carol

This is a very well crafted tribute to your friend and church member. Each stanza is speaks to the aspect of love and moving on. If God is indeed the source of all love and when we pass, we go back to that source than I can think no better rest.

That was a beautiful poem and tribute to a dear friend of your church, Roy. Yes, I truly believe we all put our small print on this world whether we know it or not. Your friend has, as he was a kind and generous person. Ulla:)))

May God's angels cradle him in clouds of welcome and love. I am so sorry for you and your church...we never know why, but must lean on His Holy arm and accept. This is a beautiful poem that honors Vic greatly. .
