Tom

My dear friends on the Soup, where so much talent, is always brewing, in this wonderful group. Let us all that knew Tom Bell, remember him, in our hearts, and with rhyme as well. Everyone post a poem, on what he left us with, his passion for music, and poetry, and charming wit. To me he was my sunshine, my friend so far away, we talked of moonlight madness, a place where poets play. "Goodnight Moon," he would tell me every time he had to leave, one of his favorite songs, by Shivaree.

First off sorry for not commenting as of late, computer problems wouldn't let me do anything on the web. Tom was a well liked and loved person who is sorely missed. I miss seeing his poetry and his special type of poetry. God Bless, Merry Christmas and your friend always, Ron

Yes Christy, I have thought of doing just this so many times, and I will. Michael is right, he also did just mention Tom, as a part of what has given this site it's magic. Of course you know how I feel. You bring great honor to our dear friend, and I will try to do the same as I take great pride in having been his friend. Very beautiful Christy, your own poem, and your idea. Love you, Shar

Christy - you know this poem made me cry - Tom was another who brought magic to our site - Sharon and I were just talking and I was talking about the magic we have here and those who bring it and I thought of Tom and the special person that he was - You bet I'll pen a couplet for him - Great idea that truly shows the beauty of your heart - Merry Christmas & God Bless, your friend, MJ
