A Pied Piper For Me

His line and verse flow like honey
Lovely, smooth, bright and sunny
A pied piper for me

He speaks of love in phrases pure
His words take wing, on airborne tour
Soaring high and free

Yet he himself is down to earth
Epitome of cheer and mirth
A humble soul is he

Always has an encouraging word
'Good friend' the honor on him conferred
The one-and-only Chris Green

Such a wonderful tribute to Chris. He is one of a kind. An excellent poet and friend. I have had the chance to get to know him over the years. His music, his words. The emotions of his heart. This is beautiful Gershon. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy
