This was Soaring Eagles first, and from what I can determine, his only originating post at Passions. This was from December 2nd of 2001. The title in the Subject line was "Mystical" ~ Candy Land I found myself in Candy Land Laying beneath the stars. Then approached the Candy Man Offering candy bars. He told me they were magical And they could give me awesome powers. I took a bar and ate it all. I was as tall as the tallest tower. I ran around in my boat sized shoes Smashing all the candy cars. The Candy Man then let me choose Between two new candy bars. I took the one with the colorful wrapper, And ate it in one bite. Soon my heart began to beat faster. My body was taking flight. I flew up to the cotton candy clouds. I grabbed as much as I could. I ate and ate sinking back to the ground, Landing on a Pirate's plank of wood. The Pirate charged at me with a chocolate sword, But it melted in the sun. I threw the Pirate overboard, And ate all his candy one by one. I jumped off his ship and landed on my feet. I began to run on top of the water. I ran all the way to the Island of Treats, Where I met a boy named Harry Potter. He took out his wand and made a special bar, One designed to enhance your sight. I couldn't see anything, near or far. It was all much too bright. I closed my eyes and counted to ten. What I saw would blow your mind. There were bright, brilliant colors with spheres at the end, That not once tired with time. I rode a sphere back to Candy Land, And layed, again, beneath the stars. I was woken, then, by the Candy Man, Offering more candy bars. MW ~ Rest in peace, Soaring Eagle. [This message has been edited by Denise (01-18-2003 11:36 PM).] |

Denise, who is Soaring Eagle? Sorry, I just registered last Dec/02 and haven't got to meet (read) most of you. This poem is such a magical fairy tale, so right to read for a grandson at bedtime. |

jjote, he joined here in December of 2001. Marge called him "My Warrior". Here is the link to the poem that she wrote for him on the occassion of his passing. /pip/Forum39/HTML/001467.html You're welcome, Martie. I wish I had known him. From what others say he was indeed a special person. [This message has been edited by Denise (01-18-2003 11:42 PM).] |

Denise: Thanks for posting this poem by Soaring Eagle (Don to me) He was indeed a wonderful person and friend. Maybe Marge will have some of his other poetry and would share it with us! Betty Lou Hebert |

Denise~ Thank you. ~My Warrior~ was the kindest, most gentle person. We have walked this plane before and will do so again. He leaves behind a lovely wife, Nan, and eight children. His earthly services will be held today, where his beautiful poem, 'Going Home' will be read by one of his lovely granddaughters. I have written and asked Ron for permission to post 'Going Home' and as yet have not heard from him concerning the request. Don's family has given permission, which I forwarded to Ron, for me to post his words. If and when I hear from Ron, I will do so with pleasure. Through the years Don sent me many 'thoughts' that he asked me to 'polish' ... they were all gems that showed what a beautiful soul resided within him. No greater friend ... no greater loss~ What was ... is ... and will be so again *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
