Recently one of our poets, Velmar Johnson, received local recognition for her poem "His Memory Lives On." This poem was poignantly written in honor of pediatric surgeon Dr. Benjamin Mauck after he was shot and killed at his clinic. Her poem was published by our sister company Eber & Wein Publishing this past December and is featured in the first volume of Who's Who in American Poetry 2023. This poem is a beautiful tribute to a husband, father, and doctor who made a tremendous impact on the lives of many.
His Memory Lives On
The lights in Heaven glisten bright,
a soul that shined with pure delight.
A man with love he shared with all,
amongst the angels he stands so tall.
Take not his memory away,
for in life his soul will always stay.
Brave, a god among men he be,
a wonderful doctor to all he did see.
Least we forget this man so brave,
we miss Dr. Benjamin Mauck each day.
