a tender word
spoken in time
lies on the page
simply sublime

scribed in truth
lovingly rhymed
feelings are shared
in every line

writer of love
with words so fine
speak to our hearts
open our minds

with thread of life
as words entwine
cover the soul
in cloth divine

comfort us now
when clock does chime
with tender word
spoken in time

Somehow, today, this fits as most appropriate in time of posting.  Well done, Sven.

Sven: I'd treasure this even if it wasn't such a beautiful poem. I lack the words to tell you how much your thoughtfulness means to me... I can only say thank you very much... I am deeply honored to be included in your gallery!

The blending and soothing words you created in your poem, a master you are --such a tribute to Suthern. (sigh). LP

For those who believed in me -
I send my love.
