<p>The Albert Jungers Prize is in honour of late Fr. Albert Jungers who died on May 27, 2013 of a heart attack. Until his death, Fr. Al was a dear father to all of us in the WRRPoetry family and an extra brilliant poet who brought different forms to life for us.</p>
<p>He was very patient and very much accessible so much more than a few members have had their writing life, if not all their lives, affected by this great man.</p>
<p>We are proud and honored to have had him among us, when we had him. He would be proud of us, seeing how much we have grown.</p>
<p><strong>WE MISS YOU FR. AL</strong><br>
<em>Like always I’m awake at this 3rd hour</em><br>
<em>wondering why Mr. Death has so much power</em><br>
<em>it took from us our dear Father Jungers</em><br>
<em>for whose words our communal soul hungers</em><br>
<em>…</em><br>
<em>I have tears in my eyes</em><br>
<em>As I look into the silent skies</em><br>
<em>Maybe Fr. Al is there, smiling down</em><br>
<em>And wondering why I have a teary frown<!--more--></em><em>…</em><br>
<em>Oh! We miss our Fr. Al</em><br>
<em>So, honour him, we shall</em><br>
<em>He was the teacher and friend</em><br>
<em>Who did our tattered skills mend</em></p>
