Thinking of You Harry Horsman

The Winds of change have come again.
 To think we've lost another friend.
It grieves my heart, you left so soon.
 I read your blog this afternoon.
A better place you've journeyed to.
 God Speed Harry, thinking of You.
 
 
Dedication to Harry Horsman.
My condolences to his family.
Also want to thank Mandy a
True friend of Harry's for
informing us...

Lovely tribute Michael Harry was a gentleman and a fine poet. Mandy sent me the link to his funeral service, sad but beautiful, there were many pictures that his family had put together. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

Im glad Tom you were able to go to the Link and experience that. I am still in shock of Harry leaving us. I hoped and prayed he would make it. The good sometimes has a different plan for those he loves. Hope you are well my friend going over to read your latest poetry as I got back about three weeks ago have to stop by and read everyones fine Poetry. Nice to see your Avatar Tom. You are one of my favorites...

Hi Kim thank you Dear. Harry will be missed...

June 2, 2023 at 2:45 PM

A magnificent ode to a cherished companion of mine, one that I hold in high esteem. It is evident that you shared a special bond with Harry! Though his passing cannot be considered untimely, it came much quicker than we anticipated. It is with great sorrow that we have lost several fellow poets in just a brief span of one year! Your tribute to Harry, our esteemed veteran poet, is truly touching, dear Michael.

June 3, 2023 at 6:46 PM

Thank you my friend. It was shocking to read of his passing, it has been a bad year or two for loosing wonderful human beings. What a year it has been. I pray and hope it gets better my friend. We can always have hope... Thanks for your special visit my friend...

I know you were quite close to harry ! Though we cannot call his departure untimely, we never expected it would happen so fast. We have lost many a poet friend in a small gap of barely one year ! A great tribute to harry our veteran poet, dear Michael...

Your dedication stems from the heart and tugs the soul. You honor him with this splendid write, Michael. May he RIP. Haven't seen you in quite some time. Welcome back!

May 24, 2023 at 4:19 PM

Hey Vijay. How are you my friend? It is terribly sad when we lose a friend that we have interacted and gotten to know through their comments and Poetry. Harry like you and other wonderful writers are part of a intimate family here on the Soup. Demetrios Triafitis is another friend. I know you are a loyal fan of His Vijay. You are always commenting on his works and it reflects the close relationship you have for him. As you felt for Demetrios I also felt for Harry. How can you not love both of these fine men. Thank you for stopping by and as always you are a welcomed friend. Godbless you Vijay...

a beautiful poem Michael, Harry would be skyping me now and asking me if I had read it, then he would chuckle and shake his shoulders in appreciation. Mandy x

May 24, 2023 at 4:25 PM

Wow Mandy thank for sharing that special comment. You and Harry were very close. It is wonderful in our lifetime to have close genuine friends. You were fortunate to know him and have a personal friendship with Harry. A great friend you were to him sharing your Poetic abilities and being there for one another even when Harry moved to Australia. I want to thank you for your efforts in keeping us informed and being their for Harry and his family. God bless you for being a caring soul...

May 24, 2023 at 4:26 AM

I just learned in the last few days that he had passed. I always enjoyed reading his work and he left some nice comments on my page. Your poem to honor him is very nice. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

I am so sorry to hear of his passing Michael, he was such a special man, always ready with an inspired word, and his poems rocked heaven. I'm sure he is pushing the cradle of love in the sky, rocking out words of love to all, I hope we feel him around us when we write. xo
