Notes About The Poem

My Guardian Poet

A guardian poet you have been to me

Much like an angel, there protecting me

When I was silent, lost in dark of night

You read my words and brought me back to light

You told me that my words were ever true

That in my writes were thoughts profound and new

You would not let me simply drift away

A word of hope you’d send to greet each day

Your name is there below each thing I write

To tear dimmed eyes you brought a vision bright

“The Queen of Passion,” how I love the name

You gave to me and life is not the same

To you, my Guardian Poet, thanks I bring

You fool me not; I see your angel wing

Richard Lamoureux and I joined Poetry Soup at about the same time a year and eight months ago. Richard has been like a mentor to me. I’ve recently been very unwell emotionally and unable to write. I have appreciated the fact that he did not give up on me and kept daily visiting my previous writes and leaving words of encouragement. My words are my soul, so, in a way, he was affirming my worth as a person, which is what I was in need of.

Richard, your friendship is precious and dear. You are a man of faith and integrity. May God bless your home, your loved ones, and your heart with all that brings you joy. Thank you for standing by me through my dark times.

My Guardian Poet

A guardian poet you have been to me
Much like an angel, there protecting me
When I was silent, lost in dark of night
You read my words and brought me back to light

You told me that my words were ever true
That in my writes were thoughts profound and new
You would not let me simply drift away
A word of hope you’d send to greet each day

Your name is there below each thing I write
To tear dimmed eyes you brought a vision bright
“The Queen of Passion,” how I love the name
You gave to me and life is not the same

To you, my Guardian Poet, thanks I bring
You fool me not; I see your angel wing
