The Angel Sings- Again

Another genuine soul so sadly departed So talented a poet and so kindhearted He touched my soul right from the start Tears are drenched from my broken heart A contest poet and commenter too! Who often remarked on me and you His voice was heard through and through He will forever be missed by all that he knew As we got to know him over year by year We found that we genuinely knew he'd care If some other poet would begone, disappear He too would be saddened and shedding a tear But trust in the lord, he gave him his wings Hey Clarence..."Listen" Another bell rings Poetry in heaven our friend "Milton" brings To heaven he's flown- the angel sings *Dedicated to L Milton Hankins He will forever be missed R.I.P. (Milt)

A touching tribute to dear Milton. Indeed he was a poet of immense potential and every form of verse was pliable to him. He will have poetry sessions in Heaven too and angels may recite his poems. Well done Charlie...

This a beautiful poem from the heart, Charlie. It was so unexpected to his friends on poetry soup, but I feel he knew and was prepared and happy to unite with his wife. Good health and happiness for 2023, Charlie, Take care, Shirley

l didn't know him like so many did on here, but I admired him from afar. Charlie your poem is a befitting tribute to MlLT. May he rest in peace, and may those that loved him use his poetry to comfort themselves, and to ease the pain of mourning. His last poem ended : Bye Bye - Don't Cry. Your tribute is lovely Charlie.

Thank you, Wendy. I imagine he knew his final days here on earth were coming when he wrote his last lines off poetry. He was a very talented poet and wonderful person. Lovely sentiments.
