For Jon London

Dear Lord,
May Jon heal soon and suffer not
He is one of your bravest soldiers
Standing tall everywhere he goes
Be it battle field or poets' corner
He leaves his indelible footprint
We need him back in fine fettle
It is guys like him with the mettle
Who help to change the world
Making it a better and safer place
His family and friends send up
This prayer for his speedy recovery

my love for Jon goes out to him. We've shared a lot together since I've been on poetfreak. A poet of his talent does happen each day. A Full accounting is needed to get to the depth of this situation. A poet friend..RH Peat

I join in this prayer for our dear Jon... may he recover soonest...BTW, it seems there are 2 candle sites for him, as the link provided above (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=jon) and also at PF's "poet" candle site opened by Stella (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=poet)....but anywhere you light a candle is fine...let's keep on lighting and praying until he's out of harm's way.....

Yes, we also pray the quick recovery of a poet who at least the last species of human civilization feels to save the mankind. The poet who brings such suffering of poets into light is also our treasure. Wish her long...long life...
