Ode To Frank

Knew I'd be sad when this day came,
But it didn't stop me all the same,
knew it wouldn't be the same,
But I'm still glad that I still came.

You always lightened the night,
You knew how to make it right,
But you didn't have a choice, 
But you did make us rejoice.

You will always be missed,
By those that you blessed,
By being our friend,
Right through to the end.

R.I.P.  Frank

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Nicely worded with passion and intensity. I didn't know Frank, but this tribute brings him into the light once more. Well done Paddy! Best wishes, Keith
