This could be a poetic eulogy for Gert, who will be missed. It is good that you used her words to create this poem. It is a good way to remember.
Keep writing and stay healthy
I see you won the fantasy writing contest. Congrats.

Your poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully composed, vividly descriptive, and powerful and sweet in its message about dear Gert. The nature setting enhances the meaning.

What a beautifully worded poem and tribute to Gert. I am sure she has read this, I do believe Fanstory's available up there. On her behalf I express thanks.
Expression of friendship such as this are to me beyond value.

Really nice. This poem flows so smoothly. It reads with no effort, just bounces along. Good syllable count and great rhyming. I am sure Gert would be pleased.
Nicely worded.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
May she rest in peace. God needed another Angel. I hate to hear she passed. Our days on earth are numbered. Only God knows when we will be called home. I have her family and husband in my thoughts and prayers. One of these days they will be reunited. Thank you for sharing this post.

I am not familiar with your book in progress, or with Gert Sherwood. I see she was quite the writer with 485 pieces submitted to Fanstory. Guess it is best to check her out. Quite a loyal exposition.
