In memory of a much loved and respected poet
Patrick' Paddy' Martin
Among the vibrant shades
Of floral displays
An angel walks and calls his name
"Poet"
"Poet"
"Compose me sonnet"
"One so free, with wings upon it"
From within the trees
Of golden leaves
The poet emerged with a smile
With his crystal book
And pen in hand
He wrote in heavenly style
My words have long since left me
But I feel them just the same
My heart once sang with melody
To those who knew my name
And now I'm here in the gardens above
Where the flowers bloom in bliss
I still look back and smile with love
To the heart's I'll always miss
But know I'm safe and sound up here
Where poems flow in the streams
You'll find me here without a tear
Where God holds all of my dreams
I send to you, a sonnet so true
Upon wings of love to comfort you.
The angel smiled
"I adore your style"
"It's as pretty as the flowers you tend to"
--------
Rest in peace mate
