Jan, I'm so glad you wrote this tribute poem for Gayle. She was such a gracious person and very kind-always-to me. I love the thought that went into it, and the hope you have of seeing your friend again. I'm sure you will. Great job!

A very well written heartfelt poem. When a person know their time is short, they can prepare for the last journey, we should always be prepared to go at any moment.

yes, we should be prepared to go any time - I am not afraid to go and neither was my dear friend, Gayle

I knew Gayle as a writer, but not personally, I know she was a believer, and it was tragic that she "slipped away" without fanfare, beautifully written work, in that great language of faith, while the angels sing in glory, in abcb rhyming, blessings, Roy

however, royowen, if you had known her personally, you would have known she "slipped away" while home
with her beloved Jeff and made it known to us all she did not want any fanfare
thank you so much for this wonderful review

Such a beautiful write here about acceptance of crossing over, confession and love. I especially like So, my Lord, I'm telling you
I'm ready for my last ride
and I am ready for the joy
of being by your side" although the whole work was beautiful, and the art made it just as awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a special friend. I've lost some friends along the way that I will forever miss but when I find myself having a bad day I somehow find a message from them throughout it all that gets me through. This is a beautiful poem. Welcome back

thanks for the welcome back and this personal message - I just read one of Gayle's books, "Secret Lives," and I could almost hear the comments she and I would have made to each other if she had been posting it here prior to its release.

Thank you for sharing this tribute to Gayle. She, too, was special to me. Her and Jeff published my first book. You've done a wonderful job writing this poem. I'm sure Gayle is smiling.
