A Haiku for Deloras Lucas

She was our friend-in-faith and for the last two years

she had inspired us, her FaithWriter friends,

smiling big through her painful ordeal

strong in her faith and heavenly GOD!

Deloras, we'll miss YOU!

I must also thank Janice Keck, my late friend

Who was key in getting me started

Onto the Haiku track...

Which helps simplify my sadness!

A Tribute to Janice Elaine Keck

Janice, had been such an energetic and motivating person it is hard to assimilate the fact. She was like a lantern atop the hill for Williamson County---reached the community and people of all ages. Can't believe that ever welcoming warmth and smile is no more!

She lived like a flame kindling others hearts and aspirations. Like a flame she was swept away so suddenly and swiftly...

Thinking of Janice!

Of light atop the mountain---

Flame swept silently away

And up to heavens...

-A Poetry Tribute to Janice Keck by VeerajaR

But, Williamson county and the people of all ages, race and ethnicity whom she has touched with her service will continue to reap the benefits--gifts of her great soul! We may have lost a friend on earth, but gained an angel in heaven to lookout for us and our writer/artist aspirations and achievements!
