for'' Richard Goodman"

this is for my past buddy who died in a small boat accident in back of his home in Florida on the lagoon there... he was such a good humane being and a true friend who is missed by all

you would pick up papers  that made the cement messy

you took care of the blocks and areas of your neighborhood

you went food shopping on your bike   for your family

and you greeted the people who helped you with a smile

and a kind remark or more.

you loved your nephews

you loved your cats

you loved people all around you

and you loved the yearly birthday cakes i sent you at publix.... 

how your heart must have been broken

how your soul stomped on

because you  were too kind 

too giving and forgiving

and too vulnerable

to be  part of any clique or crowd

misunderstood  perhaps

but you marched on..

till you gave up one afternoon

and fell or jumped off a small boat

alone, no one to rescue you

and you gave up your heart

and broke others, including mine

to the sweetest guy   such a dear soul   

one who suffered from epilepsy and a car crash

impairing so much 

yet he wrote poems galore

god bless you ''Richard the poet''                             always your friend in life and ,                            Marilyn n                                     death

a compassionate human being which is rare to find, in this day of heart breakers
he died before his time

A lovely tribute.
There are many such people in life but society likes only to talk about the bad.

[marilyn 1225]

he overcame such hardships in his life thanks for reading this and your kind words.

[Paul Bell]

Glowing tribute to a friend.
He sounds like the sort of guy who just gets on with it. No complaints, no blame. A rare breed these days. Maybe you could post one of his poems up.

[Tony Jordan]

I have zero experience of 'sticky-keys' *whistles innocently*

[wordman]

might be some sugar drink spilled on key board,just a damp cloth

[marilyn 1225]

this one is only one month old but I think it is that the mcafee people said it is a hardware prob with a key makes it jiggle and go smaller or larger oh well have an appointment tomorrow thanks and more thanks!

[marilyn 1225]
