Friends…for those of you who may not know, we lost a very dear friend in our poetry/WordPress community. Those of us who had the privilege of knowing Walt Page, will always remember him as a kind and passionate man. Walt passed away in March of this year. Please keep his wife and sons in your prayers as well as his furry buddies, of which he had many.
A man full of heart
From the land of Tennessee
Words flowed from his pen
Explaining life, to a tee
Love for his wife,
His pups and his home
Around his land, his pride
Each day he would roam
We’d laugh over things
Our talks, I’ll never forget
That I didn’t get to say goodbye
Will always be my regret
I called him Sir Walt
And to him, I, Lady D
A knight in shining armor
To me, he’ll always be
So, thanks for the fun we had
You’re missed, hope you know it
Heaven has a new Angel
He’s “The Tennessee Poet”
Rest In Peace, Dear Friend.
Walt Page – March 2022
Rest in peace buddy …a true gentleman and a proper decent chap indeed.

Thanks so much for sharing this information on Walt’s passing! He was a great poet and friend!! Do you have the contact for his wife? I’m hoping that his family will keep his blog in an active status. I’d like to talk to her/them about that.
😊💕🌹

Chuck, Walt has a Facebook page. I’m sure you could contact Susan that way. I’m hoping they leave his WP site up, too 🥰

I’m glad to see that it’s still up and active. I posted a message on his facebook page asking to have the blog left active. He and I were talking about him putting up an archive on his blog – sadly that didn’t come to pass. I would like to contact his wife if you ever get a contact. He had so much written before I started following that I would dearly love to read. Thanks so much for checking for me. I feel better! 😊😘💕🌹
