Why do I feel sorrow I never met the man who died I never knew he was a poet I never saw him as a friend But there are tears in my eyes my thoughts are with his family the man who died so far away Why do I feel sorrow Because I saw the pain in you you met the man who died you knew he was a poet you saw him as a friend So there are tears in my eyes I read some of his poetry the man who died so far away I know my sorrow now A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Titia....you have just described this community that Passions in Poetry has brought about... someday when you have time, go back and visit Wilfred and his many gifts he gave us through his poetry.... his works start in the Archives, Open Poetry #8. Thank you for this. |

Titia, I haven't met a poet yet who didn't have a heart for others, their words, and feelings....thank you for understanding how much Bill meant to all of us. Maureen/~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

Exactly Titia...I don't know Bill personally or I have never met him face to face but I know him through the poetry he wrote...and when I read his poetry I feel like I do know him personally...he was a man with a loving heart that has reached out and touched many...James |

Sunshine, nakdthoughts, JamesMichael, that's what makes Passions great. Allthough we will never meet (at least most of us) I still get a feeling of growing into a large family of dear friends. I visited other communities for a while, but none of them were so close to me as you all are. And as you take up all my webtime I quit the others (smile) I sure plan to read more of William, only I feel sad I won't be able anymore to tell him what a beautiful poet he is, because reading the one or two reposts they reached my heart strongly and that's why I knew he must have been a great friend to you all. Let's keep his spirit alive through our compassion with each other, as he did so well. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Janet Marie, thank you so much for your kind words. My website? It's just a beginning and a place to put the pictures in so I can use them with my poems. HopeS, you're not alone in those feelings dear, thanks for reading. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

This is a great way to put your feelings down Titia.....As a poet you understand and that's where the sorrow comes from.......he is missed very much! |
