it's what is
     in his heart
          that matters

a heart filled
     with strength
          and power

and from
     that heart
          come the words

the words
     of a lifetime
          his legacy

offering life
     and offering hope
          to the world

offering wisdom
     and offering love
          to the child

it's what is
     in the heart
          of Auguste

Sven, I'm so glad to see upon my return a poem within your Gallery of a talented and cherished Poet who brings many a smiles our way each day...

And from much of the writings I have read of Michael's, I sense that you've captured his essence exquisitely in your poem...

I, like many other of our PoetFriends appreciate reading your PoetGallery...

Sven,

I'm flattered that you would include me in your gallery, but I'm certainly not worthy of such praise.  Even so, I thank you and a most pleasant day to you, sir.

Sven, you keep telling it like it is...you have a gift to see into the hearts of the poets, even when they don't see it themselves.

Well I only know Auguste by his poetry and I think you painted a wonderfully true picture and did a great piece in tribute to him, thank you.

Thank you all my friends for your wonderful words. . . they mean a lot to me and I hope that you will continue to enjoy this new Gallery series as much as I'm enjoying writing it. . .  

Michael, I have always found beauty and wonder in your words. . . words that have spoken to me in ways that I can only begin to tell you. . . words that I know come from your heart. . . and from your strength. . .

Thank you my friend, and may your words continue to flow for all of us. . .
