A Knelling Bell

The Bells of my memory knell
  With rhymes to sing and stories to tell
       Although from afar I hear them come  
   My heart shall sense,
                              My thoughts shall dwell      
   For it is in forever's time that I will remember
                                A wonder, a friend,
                                                 Tom Bell

This is a beautiful tribute Farah. I (sadly) never had the chance to meet him but I read his poems and other tributes to him. He must have been a wonderful person. Excellent piece! Love, Robin

Farah excellent tribute to a very talented poet and more importantly a very fine man - we all miss him - this is going into my new favorite poem list - God Bless you and I do apologize for taking so long to respond my wife and I are buying a home and it is in escrow and we are facing one trial after another - God Bless you Farah, YF4L, MJ

Oh Farah. My tears flow for the second time today. Wherever our Tom is, to know that you, with your superlative talent, wrote a poem for him, would bring him joy beyond belief. He adored you, you know. In forever's times is so true. What a beauty of a write. I am overwhelmed. Thank you. Hugs, Shar
