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. |

A very fine poem to honor a very fine poet. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

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.... |
