My Guardian Poet

A guardian poet you have been to me Much like an angel, there protecting me When I was silent, lost in dark of night You read my words and brought me back to light You told me that my words were ever true That in my writes were thoughts profound and new You would not let me simply drift away A word of hope you’d send to greet each day Your name is there below each thing I write To tear dimmed eyes you brought a vision bright “The Queen of Passion,” how I love the name You gave to me and life is not the same To you, my Guardian Poet, thanks I bring You fool me not; I see your angel wing Eileen Manassian Ghali Richard Lamoureux and I joined Poetry Soup at about the same time a year and eight months ago. Richard has been like a mentor to me. I’ve recently been very unwell emotionally and unable to write. I have appreciated the fact that he did not give up on me and kept daily visiting my previous writes and leaving words of encouragement. My words are my soul, so, in a way, he was affirming my worth as a person, which is what I was in need of. Richard has written a poem for me entitled, "Queen of the Romantic Pen." Richard, your friendship is precious and dear. You are a man of faith and integrity. May God bless your home, your loved ones, and your heart with all that brings you joy. Thank you for standing by me through my dark times.
