"Goodnight Soupers, Soupers Goodnight Time for Chris to say Goodbye" From the very early morning When the sun still fights the moon He will sit to write his lyrics To be posted very soon With a cup of coffee waiting And a notepad filled with Soup Tangerine skies out the window And his thoughts run in a loop "Morning Soupers I slept well You're still sleepy I can tell" Through the day he writes his comments So supportive to us all In between his own great writing A poetic waterfall When his evening rest is nearing He writes us all a lullabye And when for once he doesn't In the silence we all cry "Goodnight Soupers, Soupers Goodnight Time for Chris to say Goodbye" Don't forget us on your Wednesday Or we all are gonna cry Now goodnight Chris and sleep well friend Here's for once YOUR lullabye *** March 1, 2017 © Darren White

Darren, my good friend, this is the best good night poem ever. Your talent for writing is only surpassed by your compassion and friendship, the friendship that you show to everyone on this site. Knowing the physical hardships you face, it always amazes me how you take your precious time and give it to others. Thank you my friend, you are a special human being and I am happy that I can call you friend. I am humbled by this poetic gesture. Oh...good morning. :)

Dear Darren I noticed this entry by the title as I was scrolling down the page. I've only been a member here since the 20th of February however I have come to admire not only your work and talent but yes the talent of Chris. This is a fabulous tribute to him and his work not to mention his good morning and good nights. May he and you keep posting your skilled work. Well done
