Summoned, chosen
By the light of the moon
Knows chivalry does not falter
Nor die
***
Instead
His mighty stance
Shows determination
Dauntless, he and his loyal steed
Trust faith

In Loving Memory of John Freda 1968-2020

You left
Before I
Could say goodbye
I sit
And can’t help
But wonder why
You were taken
So soon
From us, away
Though
In our hearts
You’ll forever stay
I loved
Your kindness
Your gentle soul
But, alas,
Your absence
Will take its toll
On so many,
Who will never know
Your spirit
Or the sound
Of your laughter,
I can still hear it
A man
Who cared
For so many, but he
“Reach out,
I’m here,
If you ever need me”
A phrase
He would say to me,
Again & again
He’d listen,
And comfort,
And never complain
John,
You were truly
A wonderful friend
And
To our Alyssa,
You were a godsend
Now
You’re an angel,
In Heaven above
At peace
With our Lord,
Embraced in His love.

In the twilight hours, when madness sets in
And the darkness engulfs you, when terror begins
Blurred in reality, a turn of events
Nothing around you makes any sense
Longing for sanity to visit again
Never really knowing where it has been
Torturing dreams that fly through the night
Grasping and grabbing, in torrid delight
Cause you to stumble, turn away from the real
In the hands of the devil, your soul, his steal.
