         THOUGHT FOR A FRIEND - WILFRED YEATS

               An inspirring
               verse...
               A welcomed
               smile...
               A loving...
               embrace
               A guiding...
               hand

               These glorious
               gifts...
               We've all
               received...
               From a poet
               indeed...
               WILFRED YEATS

               Now - in your time
               of pain...
               We return
               a thousand fold...
               The wishes
               of love...
               You showered
               on us...

               Fear not my
               friend...
               Many fruitfull years
               await you still...
               For the Lord is
               with you...
               ALWAYS...
               As am I

This is so lovely and reflective of the sentiments of all poets who love Bill's beautiful verses and who love him.
May you recover, my friend, and return to write poetry. You are very much missed.

thank you for this lovely, and deserved tribute...
yes...he is adored and admired...
definately for his talent..but also for his gentle, kind, spirit and love of poetry.
He is an example of grace and dignity in here.
To coin one of his own phrases...
he is a "treasure" to us...
We love you Bill..come back to us when you are able...
until then...know you are missed.
