In Memory By Larry Chadwick To spare me pain, I'll lock the door, Let no one enter anymore. I've been hurt beyond belief, All I want is no more grief. So I tried that plan for just a day. It was so lonely that I couldn't stay. My heart was hollow all alone, And far too soon would turn to stone. There is a price for love, it's true, But worth the risk of knowing you. Friendship is worth the threat of pain, And knowing you is much to gain. And when you're gone I know I'll cry, It's what we do when our friends die. That's what I learned since I came here And got the chance to know the Balladeer. 8-27-16 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Great eulogy-like write, Larry. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

"I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance." And I wouldn't have missed knowing him for anything. Beautiful tribute, Larry. |

There is a price for love, it's true, But worth the risk of knowing you. Friendship is worth the threat of pain, And knowing you is much to gain. I believe we all feel the same way... thank you Larry for writing and sharing this lovely tribute to a special poet friend. |
