Someone mentioned your name yesterday <br />and I was silent <br /> <br />You loved goodness, you were goodness, <br />and I think goodness must have <br />loved you; and we, <br />we loved you for your goodness <br /> <br />You loved truth, spoke truth, <br />and surely the truth <br />loved you for loving it; and how <br />we loved to hear you <br />speaking truth <br /> <br />You loved beauty in <br />so many ways that beauty <br />blessed you: in movement, <br />in actions, in thought, in words and yes <br />the beauty of goodness and <br />the beauty of truth shone from you – <br />how could we not love you <br />beyond you? <br /> <br />How often in this poem to you <br />the word love appears <br />as it did <br />in you<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-platonic-reminiscence-of-a-great-lady/
