Always a Poet

I just met you And I loved you I was excited to know you more I was excited to hear from you From the words you weaved so well From the seeds you planted so fertile I enjoyed reading your poems I loved to see your words on mine It was like a barter trade of wisdom Or like a barter trade of life lessons I introduced you to my world And you welcomed me to yours Now gone, but not forgotten In appreciation, I embrace those memories I will always remember your encouraging words I will always remember your support In the power of words, I salute you Nice meeting you In peace and love
Dedicated to Ian Jones, Candi Geary, George Dee Vuy and Lyric Man

What a heartrending tribute Njeri... One day when I lay in immortal body... One day when you gone away from me... This come back and read to me again... These words may I read before I go away!!!
