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!!!
