My Love For Lionslove by -LilacThOughts- at All poetry

-<>- My Love For Lionslove -<>-

I once had an angel for my best friend
now my heart
can never mend

Extra special, and briefly on loan
finding me in sorrow
friendship was sown

Strength of a lion with heart so warm
he lifted my spirits
amidst personal storm

Cherished me with words from his loving pen
Tim and I shall meet again
in heavens den

...x...

Oh sweety.. I remember a couple months ago having a wonderful conversation with you about your losing Tim and your brother and I remember just how badly you hurt... even just through the words you wrote on the page. That was when we decided that we would be part of eachothers AP family.

I know the sorrow that you hold so deep inside, and how much you miss him. This poem deeply touched me and I can only hope that my memory will live on in a fraction of the way his will. He was loved by so many and touched so many peoples hearts. he started commenting on my poems when I did not have a computer and so I did not get a chance to ever really talk to him.. but his words lifted me up when he did comment.. they were very hard to forget that is for sure.

Thank you so much for dedicating your time and sad thoughts to writing a poem for this contest and for Lionslove. I am sure he is touched beyond words!! Love ya sweet sis!!

Love,

Oh, Lilac
I can surely relate to the emotions in this poem...We miss Timothy dearly and love him...But, you have gone so far above and beyond the realm of friendship by putting so much strength, joy, love and dedication into keeping "Lionsloveslair" alive and well to honor his memory and wishes....I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish I had more time to help....I loved him and treasured his friendship and know that I am blessed for having been touched by he who is now an Angel...

Wow, I never met Lionslove. I am sure he was a wonderful person and his passing has affected you. I think you should end the poem "Tim and I shall meet again

  Oops! I did actually have den in the last line, then went back and changed it, just a few minutes ago...but your right, so I'll go and put it back again
  
  Thanks Altheia for commenting, there will never be another Lionslove as precious as Tim.
