Rest in peace Linda-Marie, the sweetheart of Poetry Soup,
When I think of you I weep and then I must smile;
You were such a good friend to me and a great poet too,
So thoughtful, so warm and such compassion for all.
With you by my side this journey was so joyful for me,
We found out we shared so many of life's hardships;
No two were ever so much alike and so much different,
We were poetic sisters, our bond is still and eternal.
Like a budding flower our friendship was slow to bloom,
Then like a perfect rose it was such a beautiful thing;
And we would always say no matter where life took us,
We would be and then God took you home with him.
When I thought of you, I erased the miles that separate,
You were always near to my heart, my mirror reflection;
Always poetically creative, oh how we shared our poetry,
Happiness and joy you always gave to me, dear heart.
With strength and determination I will go on to tomorrow,
Your rose petals still touch me to soothe my tears;
And your sweet poems still grace the pages of Poetry Soup,
You left us your gift of words that will linger for years.
You suffered thorns in this life and now you are at peace,
You are an angel spirit drifting who fills my weeping soul;
Linda-Marie you were the essence of a beautiful friend to me,
We were sisters in poetry, you and me were like one.
And her very last line of poetry written,
"Eternity is awesome with unending interlude . . ."
