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~
