- Land of Happiness - R I P

- Land Of Happiness -


 When our hearts met, a star was born in a land of happiness
 In this land you are the king, and I am the queen
 We live with delight in loves sweet harmony
 Ruling the land as the passionate dream team

 It has beautiful flowers and luscious fruit trees
 With clear blue skies and air free from disease
 Golden meadows with clear flowing streams
 And flower scented air that floats in the breeze

 The sky at the night is filled with a multitude of stars
 As I look at them all I see the one that is ours
 It warms my heart, and brings a smile to my face
 With you in this land of happiness, there is no greater place




It's hard to understand
that a friend who was so alive
is not among us anymore
Dear Dan :
I hope you found
the "Land Of Happiness"
        R.I.P.

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 9/8/2021 6:03:00 AM It is horrible for us, the living, when it happens, however, I think it is a delight for the departed. Since the end of March, I have lost eight close relatives and friends, I believe they are all together with your friend, dearest, Anne-Lise, in The Land of Happiness! Blessings. Well done!

L Milton Hankins Date: 9/5/2021 12:54:00 PM Sunshine Smile - I am always sad when I learn someone has left in their younger years, and equally said when I learn that some are bullied by trolls here on the soup. I'm sure you feel the loss and I send good thoughts for you and him. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 9/5/2021 3:04:00 PM Me, too, Sunshine Smile. I went back and read several of his poems this afternoon. A very fine poet, indeed! Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/5/2021 1:03:00 PM - Some are mentioned ... others just forgotten ... Dan, was a friend I met here at the soup (never face to face) ... - A life is gone ... only his words are left, Milton ... I hope they do not turn to dust - hugs // Anne-Lise

Jan Allison Date: 9/5/2021 12:44:00 PM aww Anne-Lise this is such sad news on so many levels especially his death and also about the soup trolls. I remember reading some of Dan's poetry on soup ... so many poets are missing it is worrying when they disappear without trace like Darren watson did:-( hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 9/5/2021 12:58:00 PM - I will never forget him ... he was so vulnerable ... and he was always honest and comforting ... the "trolls" found a soft victim, Jan ... it's so sad to think about - Yes, there are many we miss here on the soup ... but some, are never mentioned with a single word - hugs // Anne-Lise
