I wrote this poem as a tribute to my Uncle Walt. He died this week, just 15 days after my Father ( his Brother) died. Heaven gained two angels this month.

I am writing this poem for you today Can’t believe you have really gone away You were a beautiful person with a kind soul It’s so difficult to say goodbye and let you go Your laugh was infectious, your spirit always warm You could put out family fires and calm the storms Fond memories with you flood my mind, make me smile I Remember when you tutored me, going the extra mile I will cherish memories of our holiday celebrations You always made them fun and special occasions You are at peace now; I know it was your time to part Memories of you Uncle Walt, I will hold close to my heart
