This does honor to your friend. What a wonderful tribute, and a bit of a head-spin considering the songsters of New York who love Yiddish. - Will

'The birds of New York sing his poetry.' This is such a sad but beautiful tribute a poet can write for a friend that one can easily die for it. The abode of your heart is full of love, memories and poetry for your friends, Sandra, and I feel blessed to be in a small niche there. Always your friend, Naseer
Sandra, this is quite different from your other poems, you talk of your friend with such affection, and although sad that he succumbed to cancer, you put it in such a tender way-a little ironical, and a bit of pathos. good poets are forever remembered. lovely tribute. Mamta
