No Title

My time on Earth has reached its end.
I’ll always be your poetry friend.
I’ve enjoyed the time we had to share.
Thank you all, I’m glad you care.

My pain is gone, I’m now at rest.
Keep on writing and give your best.
Don’t be sad now that I’m gone.
Just use your words and carry on.

I always picture you as a farmer for some reason, oh, probably the image you shared of you on a tractor at some point! My uncles farm in PA was very busy, it was fun to visit but he put us to work from the youngest picking blueberries to the oldest working out in the fields! I'm glad you're ok! Hope your autumn is lovely and kind!

I'm still around, thanks for asking. My summers are really busy and my eyes are not what they used to be.

This is beautiful, and I'm sure Connie would give this very beautiful encouragement. She was so strong, so beautiful and kind. In tears as I read this, and comment.

Mark this is such a wonderful Poem from you to read. Your words convey what Connie would say to all who cared of her and shared their love for her. I love how it was her thoughts that were conveyed instead of ours to her. In the keeping of her memory alive in our hearts you have penned another heartfelt poem reflecting the legacy she left here for us to remember her by. This adds to the caring Poets that have kept her alive in our thoughts. Loved this one from you Mark. A favorite my friend...

Clichés are often true, like: the best is yet to come. No doubt this time. RIP Miss Connie. A nice tribute. :o)
