In honor of the late, great, smooth crooner;

my ETERNAL love song,
Eddie James Kendrick

As I (Try To) Remember his extraordinary gift


Eddie
by Nia

Eddie is the Essence of love;
He sang to my heart.
 
Eddie is the Dean of style;
He was a beautiful work of art.

Eddie is the Designer of sweet harmonies;
For he perfected that role.
 
Eddie is an Institution of class;
Always so enticing; never too bold.
 
Eddie is Everlasting-
He was blessed with the gift
I appreciate all that he was,
And can never forget.

So today, especially, even though I am missing him
And may feel the urge to cry;
I embrace his music that brings sweet memories
No tears shall fall from my eyes.

 

Memories
(A Haiku by NM Green)

A lifetime of love
Filled with romance, beauty, and soul;
The gift of brilliance.

A Hope Prayer
by Mary E. Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet white doves in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
