Second Tribute

"Destroyed By a Poet" by: Eric L. Boddie Precious are the words Only your heart can serve Every Beautiful thought Tends to leave us caught Deeply in the mix Entertaining the thought of getting a fix Strong enough to lift The heart in us all, providing a gift Relative to what we most desire One inspiration that takes us so much higher Your eyes touch this when confronted by the mirror Every part of you is somehow superior Rare, Loveable, all things of that such And the fact of knowing you, to this poet means so much
