Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

Golden One, Sweet Connie

Sweet golden one, shine like the sun
                          
                             On the glorious shore of Life

                    Sweet were your flowers, in earthen hours

                           Yet sweeter still on heaven's hill

                               In freedom, far from strife

                     Sorrow left me silent as I paused to realize

                  Your poet's pen is still now, the ink is fully dried

                     Your words now seen, through misty eyes

                       Though all the tears on earth you cried

                             Washed 'way in heaven's tide


                    Will you meet us Connie? When we too lay

                                    Down earth's pen?

                           Called home to light and glory, 
 
                            Where we'll sing in joy again?

                 You must have seen sweet Carolyn upon that

                          Side of Life, are you two penning

                        Praises? Midst angelic harps and fife?

                             Oh golden one, sweet Connie,

                                 On heaven's shore abide

                       And we will meet in person across the

                                           Golden Tide

                            Where poet's ink is gold indeed

                                 And written on the clouds

                            Where angelic muses utter praise

                               And sing the poems out loud

                             Upon the Glorious Golden Shore

                          Your aching heart will break no more

                             And love is pure and light Divine

                         Where Golden one, we know you shine

Valsa George October 18, 2022 at 8:33 PM What a wonderful tribute you have given to Connie, our dear departed friend. I simply love the sincerity of tone and the free flow of emotions."Upon the Glorious Golden Shore Your aching heart will break no more".... Quite true... ! She had to endure many aches, still faced life with courage. Again she will not have to shed any more tears ! Lovely penning dear BJ Bj Legros Kelley October 18, 2022 at 11:46 PM Thank you so much my sweet friend, she endured so much pain on earth. We had spoken through soupmail and I had related to her that I prayed for her as she came to my heart, the sadness she endured was more than I felt a person could bare. She was so very brave, sweet and dear. She told me that it was the Lord that gave her the strength every day to carry on. Now she's with Him, and her beloved Michael and their son. Though I'm still sad she's gone, I know without a shadow of doubt she is free, and in the arms of her Savior whom she so trusted in. Thank you for your visit and kind words, I love having you drop over with your incredibly uplifting comments Valsa <3
