He lives his life at a leisurely pace with an open heart and curious mind. And ponders the wonders of outer space, he is a unique man, one of a kind. A beacon for peace that harbors no hate, he's meek in manner; and not prone to boast. And flowing through life on currents of fate, he's a gentle spirit, a caring host. Finding joy in the burdens of each day he never complains when prospects look slim. And seeking pleasure in innocent play, he's a ray of sunshine; life's failed to dim. Painting modest dreams with a frugal brush he is content to glow rather than shine. And takes fate in stride; there's no need to rush, Loren's a good man; and a friend of mine. (Quatrain) 5/19/2017

A very beautiful tribute to your friend Emile. He sounds like a humble lovely person. So you are having a book published soon? Please let us know all the details. I want to buy a copy and hope it will be available in paperback or hard copy as kindle versions are too hard on my eyes. Cheers, Connie ; ) 7
