Sometimes friends show up in unexpected places and cause us
to ponder and think hard and maybe laugh even harder. And then they are gone.
And even if we have never seen one another face to face, we are saddened by the
loss.
Here’s a verse in tribute of just such a friend. I am praying
comfort and peace over the family of Galen, the G-man and self-titled Mr.
Know-It-All. And thank for the Flash-55 reading and writing fun over the years.
Farewell to Mr.
Know-It-All
Discovering a friend has died,
Although we never met, I cried.
His unexpected point-of-view
Stirred me to look at life askew.
He prompted us to laugh and write
In 55-word
form delight.
A storyteller to amuse
With constant quips and quirky views,
Sir Galen, ride in full array.
We’ll miss you, as you ride away.
