Margarita Lillico Poet Rhyme

R I P

I didn't get to know You, Milt, I now regret 
Postponing reading soup's delights with "not just yet".

Drowned in a busy whirlpool, lost in mundane maze, 
Wish I followed Your work that set PS ablaze. 

Wish I engraved Your graceful gifts in my mind -
Your poignant, subtle, warm-hearted take on mankind.

I'll read Your poems as a consolation prize, 
To envision the world - You cherished - through Your eyes.
