In dedication to my dear friend, John (AKA) Winged Warrior. Like many of you, I am so deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I will never forget his kindness, genuineality, and the love he shared with so many of us. He will be missed  (R.I.P. WW)

I found out just about a week ago A friend of ours, he had to go ~He had to say good-bye~ He received his wings, three months gone by Maria, a friend of ours...she said to I ~"Hey, did you know"~ Winged-Warrior had passed away He would leave us smiling...when he would say ~"Brothers, Sisters- Love & Light"~ He and I had shared our news We've written bout our different views ~He seemed to me a righteous man~ I wrote of him, he wrote of me Exchanged our names in poetry ~We both shared some love~ Love & Light, John...I'm still crying My dear friend, there's no denying ~Love is in your soul~ You've touched so many, you were good-hearted So many tears, when you departed ~Shed by so many friends~ So rest in peace, you angel you And I'll see you when...my time is due ~Love & Light, my friend~
