Even this August...
Elegy #1 for the death of Teresa R. an old friend who passed 11.08.19
Another old friend passed this week
Far too young for death to seek
Friends as children, but not for keeps
Missed by those to remember
As this summer ends your light too fades
And tears now fall for the life you gave
May your family now, somehow be brave
Even this August, will turn to September...
I know you’ll look down and make it so
The love you left them will help them grow
The pain though easing, will never go
Sadly missed but happily remembered

A fine tribute Andrew.
Oops, you have put 'nut' in the last line! Unless she was very humorous too?!
Thanks Orchi
She actually was... but not that humorous
At least not as humorous as I am stupid
Thanks Andrew. It's 'sad' I know (in the sense of boring), but I fuss about whether it is 'humourous' or 'humorous'. An extra rogue 'u' creeps in. But we have them in some words, where Americans don't, e.g. color/colour. We must know these things, yes?! lol.
A fine and fitting tribute my friend.....
What a super tribute to a missed friend.
Beautiful tribute Andrew, unfortunately at our age it is happening all too often.
