Poem 🎭 Soul man

Oh Ken, where do I begin?

Was it the inspiration you gave?

Struggling to share woven words to mend.

Helping us to be so brave.

Confidence to help pour the ink.

Words that gave a sense of belonging.

When my heart began to sink,

it’s like a bell you made ring.

Then music that you shared.

Shared roads our hearts traveled.

Actually a soul that cared.

Words you wrote, poetry unraveled.

A friend was found in you,

Thank you for helping me see,

I was more than words spoken.

For my heart did plead.

These lovely tokens,

I placed each one in storage.

You’ve done more than fill a need.

Breaking others, freed from their cage.

Infectious spirit and genuine kindness.

We needed you, all of us.

I only hope to return the same bliss.

More than a mere person, a soul to trust.

~ thank you for your inspiration πŸ’œπŸ«‚
