Your title of this poem reminds me of a poem called For Whom the Bell Tolls? Yes the bell has tolled for Valerie but soon it will ring out a glorious peal of joy. You wrote a beautiful sympathy card in the form of a poem Joseph. I just know that Valerie appreciates your kind thoughts stated here. Keep on looking up Valerie and keep writing beautiful poetry Joseph. God Bless.
Joseph, this is an excellent poem and I am sure very meaningful to Val. Well done
Hear! Hear! Well said and I whole heatedly concur for a lovely poet in her saddest of times.
Superb and beautiful way to honor a very wonderful poet. Well said indeed Joseph.
The beautiful sentiments of a feeling heart that willingly shares others sorrows and partakes of others joys! Yes, we all share Valerie's sense of loss and pray that she gets the strength to face life! A beautifully rhyming poem has been born as a means of consolation for a soul in distress! !
A great write sir. As we all are there and we all co exist in this community with senior poets like to talk about life and its shades of philosophy, our Valerie will uplift herself and write poems of inspiration for others. Thank you sir Anderson
I agree with you Joe, an excellent wordsmith. You're not bad yourself.
