A Poem For Longo

 

As the tides rise and fall
know the winds bring change
the swift current of the waves
rushing back out to sea

To return again forevermore
this place, you giveth such warmth
for knowing you, a man of his word
Your loving kindness shall always be heard

For warmth be returned to him today
never to suffer anymore wretchful days
Always remember and know, my friend
You are not alone

Be remindful of the sun at your back
the winds that carry your feet
a love that you share, there is no end
You, the dearest, of many a friend

Light a candle, surround in it's glow
your a man of words
for this I surely know
You are not alone

A man of wisdom
a man of hope, never give up
May love embrace you
You are not alone



Longo, I pray for you everyday 
Just know I care and think of you
my Italiano friend. .

Love Mona

Thats what I am talkin about Scribe!

Such praise goes to us living too Scribe! Longo needed a kind work in one of his poems so as I think so kindly of this man I wrote this poem to him. Give praise while they are living is so important, to one so kind and true. And yes this is also true I get hung up on that you're you are yours etc always on this one and I am so happy that I have you to read and also correct me for it. I thank you as always and glad you liked this poem. You my scribbler tibbler!! lol Love ya guy Mona xoxox TIME well spent is TIME well lived
