The Poets Stage has been online since 2006 created in a Memphis hotel room and each month I featured a new poem of mine. In 2007 I published my first book and I'm well on my way to publishing my next book of poetry. Today I have created a CD plus I am touring the country. I am promoting my poetry in a new way with blogs and other websites. I don't update this site very often and I have decided to take it offline and sell the domain. Don't worry, I still post poetry and my tour schedule but I created a blog on blogger that really covers all you need to know. My new blog is located here: http://timothyhousethewriter.blogspot.com/ The website will be removed at the end of April. Thanks for those who stopped by and check out my new blog.
October 18, 1956 - April 17, 2009
Debbie Sklare was a good friend of mine who passed away way too soon. She was a person who was friends with just about everyone she met. She was also a person of great humor and she gave selflessly. She was admired by everyone she knew and she was fiercely loyal to her friends and family. This poem is simply titled "Debbie" it speaks of the feeling I shared with others on the day of her memorial.
We remember our dear friend Debbie
A friend whose bond today extends past the hands of time;
And reaches from heaven to Earth
A light that shines in our hearts,
And warms our hearts
And that light is deep within us all right now,
And will always be forevermore
Her selflessness, her humor, and good will shine bright
It resides in all those who held her close
Her laughter still echoes through the wind
Though we are broken hearted today,
this same light will heal our broken hearts.
We should not suffer, but instead be thankful we were blessed,
To know such a beautiful soul
And know she is at peace,
in a place of such beauty unimaginable to us
Take heed of what she has given us,
And give to others, as she selflessly gave to us
She’s not gone, just in our hearts shining bright
We are all greater for knowing her, loving her, and being her friend
In dedication to Debbie Sklare
