Love the poem and the
words chosen very well
indeed.
loved the words
"At the table of a king,
he could be
but as easily, you could see him
breaking bread
on the street."

You have done a wonderful job of describing Steve through your words.
His soul is old
in a youthful way, ~~ brilliant insight into his character
but his heart beats
in tune with God's. ~~ a nice thing to say about a man. How deeper can it get?
In him,
time has no end. ~~ nice!
Great job,
Rhonda

Steve sounds like the type of person who anyone would like as a friend. Kind, and caring, honest and reliable. Not many around these days. This is a lovely tribute to your friend, will you show him it? Excellent addition to your book of people. :) Sandra x

I don't know if I will show it to Steve or not. Several have said I should. Thanks so much Sandra:)

Steve sounds like one of God's timeless creatures. These ones travel through time teaching valuable lessons. They many times are ignored and are seldom seen in the light they should be viewed in. They never consider themselves to be more important than their fellows. They never put their comfort before the comfort of someone else. The world could learn much from the Steve's of the world, most of us won't as we lack the necessary mindset and heart condition.

You got it exactly and yes we could all learn from the 'Steve's' of the world. Thanks so much.

This seems to convey good insight into your friend. He sounds like he can get along with anybody. I'm sort of like that, myself. The end is very telling, especially the last line or two. Well done. Bruce.

Excellent Poem! The author's words are descriptive, creative and clear. I was
able to visualize Steve with your descriptive words. The poem flows and connects
well.

The characterisation here is vivid and you make it easy to imagine the man himself from your writing. I always admire those who can relate easily and naturally with people of all stations.

Your Steve sounds like a delightful guy, someone I would like to meet and talk to. I can indeed 'see' him through your words. Which must mean you've done something right.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Teresa;
-what a very enjoyable piece of poetry and I now feel that I know Steve somewhat as I glimpse into your words that exposed the beauty and serenity of his nature and the quantum characteristics that makes him, Steve.
-Areas last three words of your writing, and you know how you read ahead in your mind with some writing in your about to read something that you think you know and then all of a sudden you read the actual writing at something different, well I was thinking your ending would have be written like this: "In him and me being with him time has no end for us!" Oh well that is what I felt in my mind.
-Thank you for checking out my 9 PM Pacific standard Time evening with your admirable and gratifying piece of poetry of a man named Steve.
-Thanks for sharing Teresa and take care and have a good one my friend.

I'm glad you saw the last line coming and thought it appropriate because I wasn't sure if people would understand that part. Thanks Alex:)

All I saw that are right Teresa and take care and have a good one.
