Thank you so much, jan. A good friend of mine suggested strongly that I really should start writing again. This seemed like a good place to start. jan

Excellent poem about dealing with grief and sadness after losing someone you really care about! I'm sorry for your loss. I hope over time you're able to recover from something so tragic.

You have my deepest condolences for your loss. It is hard to suddenly find yourself alone when you have always been two. And it does catch you off guard. This is lovely but sad. I wish you the best in the contest.

Your short poem says much in few words. You have written an excellent grief poem that touches the heart and I am sure many can relate. "When you touched eternity" is a perfect line.

Comment from Ben Colder
I understand the feeling. My wife and son went to heaven months apart. I got a double whammy. It takes a while but the pain eases somewhat. My blessings to you. Keep writing, it keeps the mind occupied.

There are those of us who grieve with you...not in the same way, but in his honor and for your comfort. The picture is so lovely and is one of my favorite sayings. May you have ease for your pain and live in pride for what you sacrificed.
