The words of a poet
Inspire us all
My friend has a gift
And has answered a call
His words bring to some
A smile on their face
To others their hearts
Feel the touch of true grace
His words make the mind
Flirt with the past
Give life to the present
And a future re-cast
Float to the surface
The memories of old
Thoughts much more precious
Than diamonds or gold
The words of this poet
Take flight from his heart
And rest in our souls
From which they will not part
He would not acknowledge
The depth of his words
But lives they can change
Thus so change the world
What lies in his heart
The joy and the pain
Takes flight off his tongue
Our hearts to gain
Rhymes I have written
Desperate and searching
Poems he has given
to hearts that are hurting
An old friend named Scott

Very true words about him and his writings. Seems like I know someone else that can do that also.
