Oh faithful solitary truth of heart
your distant echo fills my ears.
Within the upright search there are
grand epochs of relief you share
and like the forecast warmth of March
your stirring stalwarts melt my fears.

Engage oh solitary truth of heart
bear Autumn's golden gown with pride
and brave the offing from afar
with placid grace and ageless time.
Oh foursquare soldier truth of heart
your steadfast post secures my mind.

Ethome, this is an absolutely beautiful poem. I think it's one of the best i've read. I hope someday to be able to write like this.
I am truly honored at the dedication. It means so much to me. Thank you, dear, with all my heart and thank you for reading my poetry
Love

What a stirring tribute this is, and how very appropriate.

A very fine poem to honor a very fine poet.

ethome, you did her proud...and that's not an easy thing to do. Her works are so inspiring and so beautifully created with just the perfect touch of humanity that it takes an equally beautiful poem to praise her. You've succeeded admirably....
