Seymour, a farewell Each morning he gifted us with delight His poetic gems of sparkling light Words written as only Sy could do He was a special man, one of the few Whose choice of words were always right Seymour, my friend, who saw with poets sight To say we will miss you seems too trite I will more than miss your poets write Whenever I came as I sometimes do I always looked for those words penned by you They spun in the air and painted scenes What I called special Seymour themes Words of wisdom, words of grace Enchantment and poetry interlace Into a spell that only you could spin Which pulled all who read you within And the poetic man was an artist too One who painted in such glorious hue Seymour, our memory will never end We will recall the man, the poet, our friend Marsha Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Enchantment and poetry interlace Into a spell that only you could spin Which pulled all who read you within ... I wish I had gotten to know him better, but the wonderfulness inside him shined and the words you all write and share ... well, they simply filled with love for him. Alison |

hi sis... as I 'm not around much anymore, I just learned of Sy yesterday! Your writing is brilliant as usual, but this has the softest touch, like that of a feather. Sy will be surely missed. He has touched us all at one time or another, some of us many times over. Your words bring solace to so many. Hope you are well. Miss you! Have lots to share with you. Will e-mail soon. Love you, Amy "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away" |
