Your tributes are especially great. I can tell Rosy was a wonderful lady and her family will cherish this tribute. I will pray for her family and friends. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This is a lovely tribute, Roy. Your rhyme pattern is perfect. I particularly enjoyed your Rosy's song refrain.
What a remarkable lady. You were lucky to have known her, and now you have shared some of your fortune. Nice to know that there are people like Rosy on this earth.

In many ways it is very Psalm like with this praise theme of God's grace. We see peope moving from pain to peace here, in the bright rays of God's conditionless grace. There's this sense of life as a journey through these struggles to heaven. estory

Oh Roy, what a beautiful tribute to the dear lady. Her family and friends will feel blessed by your words. Psalm 23 is very dear to my heart and I felt warm and comforted when I saw it here this morning. Rosy lived a good life, helping others, and I am sure she is smiling down and wishing happiness for those who remain. Nicely written and sincerely enjoyed. Sniles and hugs and my condolences to you for losing a friend, Carol

A fine memorial to a wonderful lady. I feel sure your tribute to her will touch the hearts of her family and friends. How fitting a farewell the 23rd Psalm makes - one of the most poetic expressions of faith in the Bible. There is much poetry in your description stole the sorrow from time's shrouds., too!

One small apostrophe missing here: and taught the angels(') hearts to sing.

This is a fine valedictory poem in two distinct parts. The first is about this lady, a biographical poem, while the second with the longer heptametric lines purports to be an autobiographical account of heaven.

I find your poem remembering Rosy very moving. Please accept my condolences. As they say, her life was not interrupted. But completed. She is now in a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing a very well-penned poetry.

What a loss for all of you! Please accept my condolences - loved ones left behind will grieve her loss, but will rejoice with her that she is with Jesus. What a beautiful song you have penned. It is inspirational and uplifting, a great blessing.

Hi Roy,

Your beautiful tribute to Rosy made me tear up. But she is in a most wondrous place now I'm sure. Your faith is unwavering and your work is such a joy to read, Roy.

This rhyme scheme and rhythm is perfect and added so much to this soothing poem.

I love the Lord's Prayer. It never ever gets old and says it all :-)

Have a great weekend,
Senyai

Update! Fanning you twice worked! I just received notification of this post! Such a tragedy indeed, and you honor Roy's memory with this offering! I will pray for her...and for all who mourn her.

(perhaps A little hiccup in this line?):

"I'll wait beside the waters still, In Jesus' love love's I'll stand..."

So nice to be reading you again!

Karenina
