Why I Loved Cd's Poem : a Sonnet For Jack

A Sonnet for Jack It’s in those moments when I feel most torn apart That I find your email; you see what’s in my heart Each day I look forward to reading words of hope From the moment we met, you have helped me to cope Although you are far across the Atlantic “pond” I can’t imagine two friends with a stronger bond When sadness fills my heart, it’s you who makes me smile Always so witty with your remarkable style I only hope to be as good a friend to you And resurrect your spirits when you’re feeling blue Many gifts you send, but our friendship is the best I thank our Lord each day for making me feel blessed By the way you bestow joy to a lonely girl Who has found in you, sanity in this harsh world *Dedicated to my dear friend Jack Horne. Written September 1, 2014 Copyright © Carolyn Devonshire | Year Posted 2014 I guess it's pretty obvious why this one means so much to me & I have it saved on my computer. It not only demonstrates what a talented poet Carolyn was, but on a personal level, it reminds me of the bond we had & is a great comfort right now. for Andrea's contest

I will start looking for Carolyn tribute poems today so I can post the list quickly when my "uncontest" closes out by next weekend. OK, you are my tenth poem to find , Jack. It's getting hard to track these down but I really hoped to see them all today. Anyway, WOW, this is an amazing tribute and indeed, we can see the close relationship you had with Carolyn. She worried so much about you in her last days and how you would miss her. Thanks so much for showing this. This is superb.
