For two magnificent years I have sailed
Over the Inspiration’s divine sea
Enjoying the sights of many beauties
That poetry offered to you and me
2.
However the time has for me arrived
For my soul some relaxation to seek
To ponder, to fancy and to aspire
Till this horrifying storm becomes weak
3.
First of all I would love so much to say
To all my honest friends a huge “Thank you”
For honoring my poems with comments
And adorning them with their loving view
4.
Certainly all of you will be missing,
But mainly those with pure love in their heart
For they are both honest and devoted,
So hard will be for me from them to part
5.
Farewell to all you Poetrysoupers
Regardless if you loved or hated me
For because of you I have written
Words that of some value might be.

PS: HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
*If we wish, God our Lord, to spare our planet and us then
we have to give Him a hand!
Fill not the heart with this pain of sorrow,
And remember this in your wakening tomorrow
Remember the joys, the laughter, and the smile
I've gone to rest for just a little while.
Although leaving caused pain and grieving,
But my going has ceased my pains
And it's given me such relief
I'm in a place where I'll be at peace.
So, dry those eyes and remember me,
Not as I am now but as I used to be
Because I'll remember you all the while
I'll check on you from time to time with a smile.
Understand this in your hearts,
I've only gone to rest for just a while
I've got the love of each of you
So, I can live departed in your hearts too.
For: L. Milton Hankins
R.I.P., my fellow Muse.
Sweet friendship comes in many forms
you worked for years at the local meat store
your presence, the sparkle that lit up the room
with a cheerful smile, and bright eyes, blue.
You greeted all with warmth and care
made colorful signage with great flair
delightful pictures on all the walls
cows, fences, green fields, and blue waterfalls.
We connected, had a bond, you and I
always exchanged highlights of our lives
you welcomed me with a big, sisterly hug
and never forgot to ask me how I was.
Yesterday, I walked into that little store
as I had done so many times before
there, at the entrance, right before my eyes
was a picture of you, and a note that you’d died.
The shock of your death, a sudden fall
jolted me…this could not be, no, not at all!
For I had just spoken to you, not long ago
you were full of life, so happy and whole.
The sting of death, that final farewell
I never got to say goodbye, I could not tell
how much your sweet life meant to me
goodbye, dear Paula, as you go to God eternally.

I felt lonesome in the absence of a confidant.
The scarcity of a shoulder to adjoin was violent.
I've lastly grasped what I've been scrutinizing.
The day revealed the supporter was astonishing.
I beheld a companion in the uniqueness of you.
My sights are sounded with ingenuities and softness.
I clasped a stone and hurled it as firm as I used to.
This roused me to ponder locating a mate all across.
But promptly, the alliance award can evolve.
You will utterly represent my esteemed aspiration.
You will inevitably dwell on God's gift from above.
I suppose this is the best time for the occasion.
Everything displays celestial splendor.
To wholly cease one year and dive in another.
We may be near the ending of this poem.
An addition will be present in the narrow term.

Do you know
How much you are loved
Appreciated
Seen
Yes we see you
We're blessed to know you
The woman behind the joyous smile
The one who goes beyond the extra mile
You are so rare
Truly a wonderful gift
You have a way, you cause perspectives to shift
You understand
change can't always be swift
Persistence
Purpose, a gentle word
You recognize people's need to be heard
On wings of understanding you fly like a bird
True kindness
Permeates your being
You have a special way of seeing
The world we live in is in need of care
True change happens by becoming aware
Yes one person can make a difference
Small changes add up over time
With knowledge as your tool you redefine
Re shaping the outcome line by line
So as you leave
We shed a tear
Yet thankful for the time that you were here
You gave your all each day and year
Through loving example you were our mirror
Go to your garden
Explore your passion
From the ground a future to fashion
The planet and bees can use a lift
What you have to offer is a priceless gift
For our friend Linda, happy retirement. Now your work begins.
We know you will continue to make a difference in the world
and in our lives.

I'm just passing through
This tumbleweed town
Wondering why anyone would
Bother to stay around
When the truths that are spoken
By our mothers and fathers
Are lies told to quiet our fears
To quench the thirst
Of a man counting his years
So today is the day
When I'll be laid to waste
Buried beneath this cold dry sand
Where my father once made me the man that I am
So go tell the angel of death
He can have all that's left
I've nothing to fear in this world
Tell my wife and my child
Not to go and get riled
Up over an old useless man
With a feather in my cap and a gun in my hand
Whistling tunes of my favorite band
Now it's just me and Death
Whispering under our breaths
Shouting high to the mountains
And cursing regrets
Who will be the first
One to draw out his gun
But no matter the end that we meet
One's labeled a coward
And the other is knocked off his feet
It looks as if death has triumphed in jest
Believers and sinners have come to pay their respects
So Death please just leave them be
Crying beneath this Joshua tree
After living for over six decades, you departed.
You were my best friend and I'm brokenhearted.
You liked to help people because you cared.
You lost your life and that certainly isn't fair.
You had a rescue service and you rescued dogs over the years.
You had a big heart and your death has caused pain and tears.
I had no vehicle or driver's license and you gave me rides.
Your friends and family are devastated because you died.
You loved dogs so much that you had ten of them.
You went to be with God and that truly pleases him.
If I live to be 100, I will never forget you.
You left this earth at the age of sixty-two.
[Dedicated to Tammy L. Carper (1963-2026) who passed away on January 5, 2026]
Perishing love intoxicated with jealousy
Eyes infiltrated with evil that the look on your face appears so malevolent
A bond once so strong broken into pieces
A good friendship flushed down the drain
Forever disappearing in a hole of no return
Memories penetrate my soul and drags tears out of my eyes
A good friend I have lost
Pillar of strength who tapped my shoulders when times were hard
Nourishing my beings with hopes
And constantly watering my future dreams
Gone are the good times
A leaf once so green has dried up like a river once so full
A good friend I have lost, the reality of life sucks
Farewell buddy, farewell my friend.
THIS is to remember my dear old friend
Memories I have, fading away
I walk on this road that has no end
In search of my friend, in a hopeless way.
I listen to bird songs in distant lands
To which my silent applause, brings me a tear
On this dreary dark night,
I wish you could hold my hands,
And give me comfort that you’re here.
You lifted me from bended knees
Made me a friend, as I regained my strength.
Before this setting sun, in times like these,
Thy smile would spread without restrain.
I look up into the sky, upon that fading light
The setting sun, a beckoning star
Farewell my friend, wherever you are.
Goodbye…
a word I never wanted to say.
It breaks me to imagine this world without you in it.
The future feels dark,
bleak,
empty.
Even knowing your pain is ending,
I don’t want to let you go.
I want to hold on
for as long as I can.
I want you here —
for me.
I want more sunsets.
More music to share.
More walks in nature.
More conversations that stretch for hours
Like time forgot about us.
I will miss that smile.
That attitude.
That deep, steady kindness.
When it comes to goodbye,
I am no good at it.
Part of me wants to be selfish —
to keep you here
because my heart isn’t ready.
But I know
you are tired.
Tired of the pain.
The struggle you have endured for years.
The battle you faced
braver than anyone I have ever known.
You have shown me
what strength looks like.
What family means.
What love does when it refuses to quit.
I don’t want to let you go —
but I know…
i know it is time.
Time to move beyond the pain.
Beyond the exhaustion.
Beyond the fight.
Time to find the peace
The peace you so deeply deserve.
And when you find it,
I know you’ll save me a place —
right beside you.
A place where we are finally free.
Finally whole.
Finally home.
So this is not goodbye.
It is farewell,
my dear friend.
You brought joy to my soul.
You were light
in a world that can be so dark.
And for that —
for you —
I will always be grateful.
