Frank

Frank is my favourite word ~ the name of my darling, he went far too soon
Really missing his charm and his wit, the kindest man, living life to the full
Always there to help family and friends his generosity knew no bounds
Negative thoughts never entered his head ~ smiling he lived his life instead
Kisses and cuddles I truly miss and I dream of the day I will taste his sweet kiss

I was going to guess "Frank" for you, but I raced over to see, and yes, you did use Frank. Let's be Frank. We need more FRANK poems, because he probably can read them in heaven.

Bless you Jan, when I saw the contest title there was no other word for me and as I wrote it tears did flow. But Frank was always so positive and smiley even when cancer ravaged his dear body, and I know he would be so thrilled to see my poetry. Kindest thoughts Ann, have a peaceful day xx
