Dedicated to my colleague and good friend, Timothy McGuire

What joy What comfort To find a comfy niche Where kindred spirits abound Where we are encouraged to be ourselves And delight in others showing their true colors How profound it is to connect on that human level Sharing opportunities to appreciate each other’s journeys With tendered words, views, passions, dreams and aspirations Life obstacles and vulnerabilities divulged with open heart Allowing others to touch us in so many ways Inviting them into our private bubble Where some so easily click Like long lost friends Forever leave Their mark To one such friend I need pay tribute He’s an artist on my path No doubt to feed my motivation He gives praise Like it’s free candy He’s a humble goodhearted poet Direct and won't play games He couldn't be a politician It would surely kill him All I have to say is how I have Tremendous respect for him And everything he stand for AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on September 19, 2019 for contest PICK A FRIEND (Timothy McGuire) sponsored by BOBBY MAY - RANKED 2ND

How nice that you have found such a wonderful friend here. It's so interesting to find which poets are inspiring to different personality types. The kinds of friends that we most relate to, etc. And it's so difficult to narrow things down with so many wonderful friends! Are you excited about the PoetrySoup Anthology idea? Can you imagine so many different people inside that book? And what of YOUR book? Congrats on your win, Line.
