Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

My Special Soup Buddy

John you are a world full of passion and music

A lovable romantic, 

A  musical song bird who sings in the choir

A preacher who is knowledgeable of the Bible

A warm hearted Christian soul

Who is the passionate writer you all know

A friendly, brotherly type with a sympathic ear

One brother, two sisters and a mother who is dear

Someone who has seen the hard part of life

Someone who has faced adversity and came out just right

Someone who I am proud to call my friend

Someone who was willing to try and make a difference

So song bird, my special buddy to you I salute.
 

(For the contest I chose my buddy John Loving iii)
