This is so beautifully written- - You write like one of the great classic poets. They don't make them like this anymore. And of course, it's a 10. I look forward to reading more of your works.

A heart-felt ode to friendship on earth and in the afterlife. A poem that can be truly appreciated by both poet and non-poet. A superb quality of writing that is simple, yet profound. This is very down-to-earth, yet spiritual. It's my second read of your work. And it won't be my last. Thank you for acknowledging their memory in such a beautiful way. I hope those students read this poem and had some similar sentiments.
