Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Dear Katie and Cameron

I wrote this for the children of my friend Wendy and her husband. They both died this past week from Covid 19. They both had chosen not to get the vaccine which is unfortunate.  They died three days apart, she was 50 and he was 60. How many more loved ones will we have to watch die before social media stops with the lies and people start listening to their doctors. Please people get your vaccine and spare your children this heartache.




Dear Katie and Cameron

Another sunset has come and gone
My heart laments from dusk till dawn
With the sunrise I’ll kneel and pray
For strength and faith to guide your way

May God’s light shine down on you
And give you peace in all you do
I know their death was premature
But with each other you will endure

Live your life and make them proud
They’ll see you both in any crowd
Just keep in mind as they depart
They both will dwell within your heart

Don’t say goodbye, it’s not the end
They’re up with God, family and friends
You’ll see them again so have no fear
Your Mom and Dad still love you dear

L Milton Hankins October 9, 2021 at 7:58 PM Wonderful message and poem through a most tragic situation. When will people ever learn, Mark? I have a very close friend who still refuses to get the vaccination. He says he's not against vaccines, but just does feel like he needs it. I can't convince him, so I've stopped trying, but I did my best, and if he gets the virus and dies from it, I'll have done everything I could. Mark Koplin October 10, 2021 at 6:37 AM My family and friends are still split on the vaccine, but I will keep trying as best I can to help shed some light. Unfortunately it's taking death to convince most people.
