In Memory Of Fred

As the sun sets in the sky,
I think about you and I,
And the connection we shared,
Through pen and paper.

But now it has all changed.
The blinds closed on your days.
A cruel force took hold of you,
And you lost the battle.

You were a loving family member,
Who brought us smiles and joy.
You were a brilliant author,
And a fantastic poet too.

I'll never forget your words,
So eloquent and profound,
Entwined into stories,
Captivating the readers mind.

Your writing never ceased to amaze
The reader, eager, keen.
Every sentence filled with love and passion,
For writing was your dream.

Even though you are gone,
Your strong-willed spirit still lives on.
Our connection stays strong.
You inspired me for so long.

You will never be forgotten. Fred.
