A tribute to a dear friend and great poet. Erich J  Gollier, who has sadly passed away.

One of a kind So rare today
A privileged to have known
A true gentleman in every way
So gifted
His poems so uplifting
So full of love and appreciation
Would brighten up our darkest days.

I never was lucky enough to have a brother
But Erich was a brother to all like no other
So caring he gave so much
Even though we live over oceans
Everyone still felt his special touch.

Sleep now our brother
For it won't belong
Before you walk through natures garden once more
And hear the bluebirds song 
When tears of sadness are  turned to tears of joy 
As  we see your smiling face again.
