What an awesome poem. It flows very nice and tells a story. I think you pin pointed how someone would feel if they lost their love one. You are such a great writer. Keep them coming.

Thank you very much Cecilia. You will find we often support one another in times of sickness, sadness, or celebration...

It's a nice family to belong to and I'm so glad you're with us!

Thank you. I have seen the support from others. How long have you been writing?

reply by the author on 22-Oct-2024

I've been writing poetry since the age of eleven. (Yikes, 59 years but don't do the math because I'm ancient)

I've been here on FS since 2007...

I've published two books along the way.

But I was an RN by occupation and remain a writer by choice!

Thanks for asking...

I'm a bit behind in reviewing but this is so beautifully written that I don't even care. It is very consoling and your love of others comes through so well.

'Passing On' in our sleep is the ideal situation. But even better is when we know that one day we have been promised to be reunited with our loved ones in a glorious place.

I hope to pass in this way... My belief in an immortality blessed reunion carries me through all health crises, and I pray gives Nomi, a man of huge faith, comfort!

I am honored.

Thank you, Lily!

Beautiful poem for Nomi and Yvonne. I read a few. It's a great idea and I'm sure Nomi appreciates all his friends poems.

Well done!

A beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Nomi and his bride of 51 years. I'm not sure how people can get through times like these without the faith of heaven waiting for us all to arrive. So thankful that Nomi has the comfort.

Blessings

I'm with you. Without faith I would be devastated. Grief is strong, but the knowledge that God reunites us is the true measure!

Thanks!

I'm so sorry for Yvonne's passing and Nomi's loss. And I'm glad there are those like you who can convey in soothing words to ease his pain to a degree. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Ric for stopping by.

None of us can escape death -- but friends can hope to ease our pain as we grieve!

Karenina.
Absolutely beautiful. Your poem is touching and warm and will be well received by our friend, Nomi!


My favorite line, not good-bye, but in due time.

Eternal, you are.
We will meet again.
Shine bright as a star,
my darling, 'til then!

Thank you for sharing,

Awesome Poem Karenina! I really enjoyed this even though it is such a tragic and sad ending for his wife! There are many of us who can relate to this poem though. The photo of a dove is excellent as well. Keep up the great work!

This was a beautiful poem describing having a longtime lover pass away next to him in her sleep. It is heartbreaking, of course. You did a great job with this tribute. I will continue to pray for Nomi. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

His FS family is here for him!

This is a lovely comfort poem for Nome's loss. My heart breaks for him though I do not know him. You have shared from your heart to bring comfort to him.

He's written his own poem about his loss of Yvonne. A good sign that he's processing this grief. I hope his book reminds him he has many friends here.

Thanks!
