A tribute to a remarkable friend, Jim aka, Cafe2010

Your wit and brilliance
Your sense of humor unhinged
You made us all laughed, cried
And even dance

Now you're gone
This place mourning in your absence
Could it be that there's a chance
You'll be back
Even just for a glance?

I know you knew we loved you
Adored and even venerated you
As a friend, brother, and perhaps
Even as a lover

Please remember you'll always be
In our hearts
You're not far away
Your writes, your lines
Will forever grace this place

We will always be near you.

We love you Cafe.

May you forever rest in peace.

I am so full of sorrow for his passing.

He used to write me about all his activities and I will forever remember him.

Goodbye Jim.sad flower

IT SEEMS THE TEARS WILL JUST NOT STOP.

Every time I read some ones poem about him ~ or see just how deeply others are missing him ~ they again start to trickle down my face.

He knew ~ for quite a while now ~ but he always tried to ease the worries of others.

What a fine man he was!

I hope we all keep him alive on C/S. I know that none of 'us' will ever forget him, but so that the 'newbies'' on this site will get to know his wonderful writings.

Missing you dear Jim.

His poetry enlightened our lives....but most of all was being himself to others. No description of how big of a heart he had. Seems God's last plans for him was to give out all his talents here at CS. You can't imagine how much our interaction with him meant to him.
Very beautiful recognition of our dear friend Cafe.
Hope his family validates his poetry and his legacy can be shared with many others.
As all of us mourne his absence; we only wish him peace and that his Soul be with the Lord forever. SMsad flower

Thank you all for joining me in grieving for his passing.

We're lucky his legacy lives with us in the pages of his great ideas.

I'm sure he's reading our dedications. Smiling in content knowing how much of a love and joy he brought to us.

We love you Jim.

Always,

Phyllis and your friends at CS.

Dear Lindsy,
Thank you so much for this wonderful tribute to our beloved Cafe. It is beautiful, and so appreciated. I'm not a writer, so especially appreciate the poets' tributes to someone I think so highly of.
I'd actually had it in mind for a couple of years to attempt a tribute while he was still here with us.... well, he knows that now purple heart
I'm so glad you got to know Jim and recognize his wonderful talent along with his wonderful heart. Thank you, thank you again for this. Sorry my comment is kind of disjointed. I only found out today...

Thanks Joy, I'm thinking of compiling them on my file and perhaps repost them over and over again.

We can copy them if course, as long as his right as the original poet and writer is acknowledged.

I hope they'll remain with us. wave

Absolutely. ......There is no doubt that Jim would have wanted all of us to love and respect each other no matter what differences that we might have. Jim was truly Christ-like in every possible way. I am truly honored to have known him, and to have learned from him. He set an amazing example, just as Christ did, in an effort to promote peace and set aside differences for the sake of respect and love for each other. .....I am confident that he can see all of what is happening and being said on his behalf. .....God Bless You Dear Brother......Won't be long for some of us.....purple heart cheers

My apologies SCatlyn, having missed to acknowledge your heartfelt and endearing contribution to our beloved fellow poet.

He has, more than anyone else, made all of us glued together in this corner as friends, sisters and brothers.

We will never forget him. hug

Christian you couldn't have said it any better.

I agree with you completely. Sometimes we all fall short of some of our expectations but we all come back around with more respects and love for each other.

We'll always remember him.

I can picture Cafe sitting "Up There' ~ leaning against a bamboo cage while sipping his special tea ~ and beaming from ear to ear the more he realizes what a tremendous influence and impact he has had while he walked this earth.

Thank you so much.

Thanks Mady that's a beautiful scene you pictured there. Sipping his tea while looking down at us, content of knowing that he's missed and loved by many if not all of us. bouquet

We love you Jim.hug

Kabsat; it's really nice how you've captured the essence of his presence in this corner and in us whose lives he touched. hug angel wine

Thank you Kabsat. The truth is, he has brought so much love and unity to this place like no other.

I am sure, each and everyone of us has contributed to building up the spirit of a very loving atmosphere but he specially directed most of his efforts in making us all feel united.

Nu, your husband, expressed a lovely verse on behalf of all those that are missing and I can add that yes, if only all of them can all be here with us one more time to connect with each other, that would be great.

It might be a virtual world for the most of us, but I personally met so many of those that make this corner a most unique place to mingle and share our thoughts.

some of them including but not limited to Reguiny, (Phil), Ondos aka Pilgrimage of Love (John), Angel from Australia, Joycrest from Geneva, they too have made this place a lovely corner with all their contributions.

Thanks for your post Kathy.bouquet

It is never the same without them but we can still go back and read some of their creations.

Dios iti aggnina kabsat.
