a great man, my dear Phil

possessed with kindness
unequaled in generosity
to have met you, we're blessed
so endlessly
you are the epitome of courage
you are a salt of the earth
humanity is enhanced
because of your presence
I can't stop thanking you
a dear friend it is so true
how lucky we are to have known you

now please enjoy and celebrate
the wonderful day of your birth.

Happy birthday again my dear friend..
until we meet again.

Again, a really touching and appropriate dedication to one of the corners finest....I have always admired writers that have styles that are historically accurate warranting the time that they became a part of the world of poetry....while Phil and others here have stated that they would rather have the modern poets take over.....the feeling is oppositely mutual. ...

Of course the list is endless for me, like Sir Andrew, Lady B, Ayhra, Beautiful you, Oriental Koru,BCBG, Earl gray tea, and many more that like Christian said, represent the traditional and classical if not properly and professionally written poetry. My admiration for them and this great celebrant rank as one of them that deserve all appreciation. I will not stop wishing they'd all come back.
