A tribute to a dear friend and great poet. Erich J  Gollier, who has sadly passed away.

One of a kind So rare today A privileged to have known A true gentleman in every way So gifted His poems so uplifting So full of love and appreciation Would brighten up our darkest days. I never was lucky enough to have a brother But Erich was a brother to all like no other So caring he gave so much Even though we live over oceans Everyone still felt his special touch. Sleep now our brother For it won't belong Before you walk through natures garden once more And hear the bluebirds song When tears of sadness are turned to tears of joy As we see your smiling face again.
