Poetic Reminders
By Larry Chadwick


When life from me has parted,
And my soul is here no more.
Please rest assured of this my dear,
I love you as I did before.

But life goes on as it always will,
And memories are all you’ll find.
So this one thing I’ve done for you,
A collection of my poetry…left behind.

They are printed and left in binders,
Evidence of what I thought about.
So bury me and weep some more,
Just read my poetry and let it out.

After that you should be well,
And with fondness my poetry recall.
Then when you think of me,
May it leave a smile most of all.

April 20, 2002


It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo!

(smiles) Oh Larry, this is compassionately beautiful, that too is the main reason that I write, for while I am not squirmish about death, I know it is inevitable and by writing, I can leave something special behind for all generations to behold then they can feel the love I felt! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, your words are a timeless masterpiece written in stone, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

To give our heart...through our poetry...
and it be loved as we are....is our greatest
gift...

You should have this gift...you have earned
it most assuredly...

Hello Larry

Your wonderful poetry is a huge part of who you are and I for one like what I see as I look through the window into your soul.  Your writing is always a joy to read and what better reminder of you as a person, than your poetry.  So many words of wisdom you have written for all to enjoy.

Take care.....Sue

Larry....in time ...your rhymes will become your own traces left behind ...and the heart treasures that will measure the depth of your love.
Heres to many more years of inspiration before that sweetly sincere pen of yours is laid to rest.

feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart
