That was another truly lovely poem for Gert's book, 'Gert's Farewell.' I will miss her a lot. She was always so nice, warm hearted, and simply a lovely lady. I will miss her. Your poem is just right for her, and the last stanza, was perfect. God welcomed her home yesterday. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

What a lovely tribute for Gert. The author's words are kind, admirable,
descriptive and creative. I so much enjoyed the last stanza - it was beautiful! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork compliments both the theme and words of this poem.

This is a beautiful poem in honor of our Gert. She will be missed on this site. I'm glad a book is being done in her honor. She was always such a positive person. She did live in a beautiful part of the world.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Lovely artwork and presentation, Robert.
-Gert would like your picture.
-You wrote a very good tribute for Gert,
and she is probably sending you her smiles.
-The nature imagery adds to the spirit of
the poem and matches Gert's personality
that we knew on FS.
-She loved her dear Vermont, even when it snowed!
-I like your opening verse with "poet Gert" and the
closing verse with her saying and the concluding line.
-I can hear her saying, "this is a very nice poem,
and I liked it, rspoet."
-A special tribute to a special friend.

Hello Pam.Thank you for the marvelous review for my tribute poem for Gert. Her love for her home state of Vermont, her fondness for poetry, her marvelous sense of humor and the strong faith in God will always be remembered. Plus her more than sixty year marriage to Stan. I'm glad you think she'd say it was a very nice poem, and she liked it.
I'll send the stars her way.
Best wishes.

This in memoriam poem echoes my own feelings. Grief in mourning has always struck me as self-indulgent. We should, as you say in your final lines here, rejoice tha the strife is over for one more soul, and offer our condolences to those left behind.
