A Tribute To Lyric Man

Dave's poem, "Cheerleader Or Critic" recently made poem of the week. So if at times you need an encourager, this poem's for you, so take a peek. Lyric Man will always see the best of you, in your poet's pen. And when other's put you down, like him, "Just take it with a grin." "Why not me," is his motto, to help lift a poet's soul. To help another along life's path, seems to be his goal. Lyric Man, you are a poet's friend. Thank you for being mine. And to all others on the Soup, you're always so caring and kind. . Aug 3, 2015
