A lovely tribute for a man who did only good, who has now passed on. A candles flame being extinguished, a bright light that is no more. Thank you

A very fine tribute to a man you knew so well to have faced challenges and went on to be a very kind and loving person to his family and others around him. Wonderful poem.

This is a very beautiful tribute poem, Sandra, and there are many deeply touching lines in it. Your words have captured the essence of that man about as wonderfully as is possible and your idea of comparing that person with Elton John's great song, 'Candle in the Wind, ' was a marvellous one! Carl.

A touching piece Sandra. Kudos to that good man, and all such unknown great who serve others and pass on silently. (Please take a look at my old poem 'My Heroes' which is similar to this one)
