#3  I know I misspelled your first name Wilbur,
Freudian Slip actually,
and a kind of insurance policy,
I am not in your league as a writer,
but I just do not want to be,
Called Home Just Yet...
Say Hi, to my Late Wife Suzanne
She Loved reading Your Thrillers,

Totally Agree Mr.B,

RIP Wilber Smith,
By now Wilber, you know,
GOD needed a new scribe,
And HE only works with the Best !
Thanks for all the Literature You Gave to Us before you were called Home, It will be read by millions of people to come.
Amen
