A Man For All Seasons, Tom Cunningham

Is exactly who you are!
There for us all, you are a humble, 
shining star.
When feeling down, you stand there
for me?
A humble poet, dedicated first, to
God’s divinity.
Then always, at work, you, serving humanity.
You are some special human, who never complains!
Not even in the midst of emotional rains.
You are the Angel of Poetry Soup!
The Lord placed me, in your caring, friendship loop.


                    Dedicated to Tom Cunningham!

Panagiota, Wonderful tribute to Tom, one of the finest storied poets I've read. And a good person to call friend. Finding the ones that get us through good times and bad, pretty much what life is all about. Happy Halloween. -Richard

I've enjoyed this poem immensely. I don't know Tom. However, I do know him from Poetry Soup. I always find his comments interesting and encouraging to others. I do agree that he is "A Man For All Seasons." Thank you for writing this poem about Tom. To Tom, thank you for being the person that you are. To Tom and Pangie: Congratulations!

Indeed, you would like him. He’s never around flaunting trophies. Instead, he helps others. He had a POTD a few days ago! I, too like his comments. Lat year, he made a blog for my birthday. It was stunning. Check out his poetry. Excellent.as a friend, a blessing, Panagiota
