Milt would comment on my poems
and make me feel real nice
He was friendly as one could be
and there was never any price

He ran poetry contests that were hard
and made you use your brain
He loved poetrysoup 
and the soupers all the same

But now he's up in heaven
where he's probably writing too
He's penning awesome poetry
for his wife there too

I wish I could be as wonderful 
as this man was
he was an idol and a role model
that gave out lots of love

Robert, a beautiful tribute to Milton, well done, he would love it ! He was all the things you wrote and will be so missed. My heart is broken in a thousand pieces. In his very last poem, Milt ends it with the words, Bye - Bye Don't cry, how can we not cry, those words will haunt me for a long time, blessings
