Stopping by at a Friend's on a Summer Night

Just a poem for an old friend who passed recently.

I was just getting

to know you

in this time and place

 

your smile

a memory from long ago

transcending

those

melancholy days

 

at peace now

where

all is better

and you are safe

 

thank God

 for

his

Amazing Grace

I used to work with Lara circa 1990 she also went to school with many of my old friends. I always remember her being a sweet person.

You have done an excellent job on this piece and it is a great tribute to someone you knew. The simplicity of it makes special. I know that sounds odd but it does. The wording is well thought out and the flow smooth.
