This man,
strength of character
and courage shared
touching hearts with words
friendship beyond compare.

Sharing lessons
in simple thoughts
laughter and fears
often times a smile brought.

Gentle and tender
wisdom past his years
hopes and dreams shared
through trials and tears.

In these pages of blue
a big hug we all send
Whether called Michael or Auguste
he is known to all......as friend......

(thank you Michael, for always sharing
your special ways with us all. HUGS)

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

(big hugggssssss) Oh Donna, this is sooooooo beautiful, God Bless You, Michael is a wonderful friend to me too and by far like you one of the most sensitive and loving people I have ever known, as he has been challenged with so much yet he has only grown stronger and more loving and truly is an epitome of compassion! (sigh) God Bless You Both, and thank you so much Donna for this gorgeous dedication, you too are a wonderful friend to all, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Donna what a wonderful tribute to Michael who has put so much into this site, and his friendships here. Nicely done, and a real treasure for him.

The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it.

He is a wonderful friend, and this is a great tribute. Thank you...I know it must have given him a big smile, as well as a few tears. Hugs to both of you!

Well, I don't know Auguste except through his wonderful poetry, and kind replies. But a good measure of a man, is the number of friends he has. A man who inspires a tribute such as this, indeed is a man of much measure!

P.S. I click on his titles, not only because I will be in for a poetic treat, but to get another glimpse of his wonderful smile and twinkling eyes! tehe

Kudos to you both!
