Swift Be Your Return -- Chris Green, Poetic Friend

A poet comes; a poet goes There are many of us now You know Yet at times one leaves And we all grieve The loss of that Only he can weave Such a poet is Chris Green As remarkable a poet As ever I've seen At dawn he awakens us to wonder Be it glimpse of sun Or peal of thunder At night he tucks us in With lines to soothe the soul And soft slumber begin Chris, you've been gone awhile again Swift be your Return, O Poetic Friend!
