Notes About The Poem

Sign Up For Silent Waves

A real treasure who gave off himself,
impart joyfulness into people's lives
always worried about lifestyle forms
other than ourselves
his wit helped many win rewards.
 
No idleness looking for applause
he taught artistry in a split-second style
as a bonehead with a golden heart
he seldom takes a breather
and he was grammatically consistent.

His heart scarcely wavered from the truth
however, it gleams akin to gold in the display
in the sight of historic or fresh devotees,
the dude is an expert on how to age gracefully.
