A Dear Poet Friend In Heaven

No words or portents of goodbye
Your leaving had really made me cry.

I thought, you’ll just have your break
To recover with a longer period to take.

Your leaving was a heartbreaking news
In sadness, so hard for me to get my muse.

We’ve been together at PS for a long time
Reading each other’s verses and rhymes.

I enjoyed your delightful and awesome poetry
As lovely flowers on fields, hills and trees.

Thank you so much for sharing your talent
Friendship, comments, words of encouragement.

You’re now in heaven with our Almighty Father
No more pain or tears, only smile and laughter.

God has called you to rest in His loving Hands
He will be with you our dear poet, Harry Horsman.

a beautiful tribute to a much-missed friend. Harry would blush and shrug his shoulders and then smile from ear to ear for 3 days. Thank you for your lovely comments on our collab. xx

Such a lovely tribute to our departed gentleman poet ! With no airs, he wrote poetry and his poems were often crisp and sweet . Your couplets are beautifully rhyming and expressive of your deep appreciation for Harry. I am sure he is in Heaven with His Heavenly Father basking in our love. Congratulations dear Len on your top placement!

Thank you for reading my poem and your uplifting comments my dear poet friend Victor. The stanza can apply to you when you're gone but don't go yet please. Take good care of yourself always as i include you in my prayers that an amazing poet and friend like you must live longer for PS and all of us need one like you, like Harry and the rests who were gone (sooo sad) but please take care of yourself always and cling to God. Again thanks a lot.
