In learning of Gert's passing, I was hoping that one of the talented poets would give tribute to Gert in her memory and console her beloved Stan.
I was not disappointed in this moving, comforting and beautiful poem.

Roy, this poem moved me in so many ways. The flow of the words truly inspired, there was rhythm and there was the most wonderful expression of faith.
May I steal this poem for just today and dedicate it to someone I didn't know personally but someone I greatly admired, Olivia Newton John.
Really fantastic poem.

Oh my goodness, Roy!
I had no idea about Gert's passing until this very moment.
Your poem pays a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Gert, one of the kindest and dearest individuals on this site...

Thank you for sharing!

This is a beautiful poem Roy, and it is a great gift that you have given by dedicating it to the memory of Gert, and to offer ease to her grieving family.
I particularly liked the last line:
time is merely chaff when... God's breath has cleared the way.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Kate xx

Excellent

A strong and moving poem about missing a good friend who has passed on strong imagery, like the image chosen for the poem for it reflects the mood of the poem.

A beautiful tribute to a fellow poet on FanStory. Your words bring peace and comfort as I'm sure she is dancing with the angels waiting for her loved ones to join her.

Roy, this is a truly excellent piece in all respects--skillfully written and smoothly flowing, reverent, and comforting in its tone and message, for those for whom "God's breath has cleared the way."

This is a beautiful tribute! You bring her life and her afterlife to light with your words. And your rhyme shows the joy is celebrating her new life with Christ.
