My Special Song

We became good friends
right here on the soup
true from the heart
everyone knew

Never a mean word
for those he loved
when I needed comfort
he gave me sweet hugs

Now an angel
in God's great mystery
taken away to soon
he left me to grieve

Sometimes he comes calling
when I am depressed
I miss him so much
this I confess

One special place
is his alone
in my mind and my heart
is his special song

Goodnight Moon
he would say to me
things will get better
this you will see

A poet in heaven
your special way
I will always love you
forever and a day

Christy, a while back someone here held a contest to write about Tom Bell's poems. He was a very good writer and it's sad he has passed away. Thank you for telling me about whom you were writing. I'm sorry you lost your dear friend. Thanks also for your kind comments. Love, Carolyn

Christy, you have me wondering who this Soup member was. Obviously he meant a great deal to you and I'm sorry you are so sad. A very moving tribute to him. Love and blessings, Carolyn
