Beautiful, and I have to sigh as I am aging into this next realm of life. I hope angels will enfold me into their wings, but I just don't know. None the less, a beautiful and calming piece of beautiful poetry to help our journey into the next.

Oh this is so beautiful! I just posted my poem and I hope that I can still add to your book. I have been thinking of Judi all day and praying for her. I was so sad to learn of Dick's unexpected death.

Thanks for the review, Helen. I have never done a book before, and I figured with many writers in napowrimo, it might have been difficult to do everything. You can definitely add to my book. I know judi will appreciate it. I am praying for her, too, and was saddened by her news, as well.

If I write another one after Napo, I'll add it to the book. Tom said he couldn't add my post to that book.

I'm sorry about that, Helen. I have never done this before, and I hoped I was doing it right.

A wonderful thought to write a poem for Judi in difficult times. I loved your presentation of the water lily. Calm and peaceful. God welcomes those who pass into His realm. One day we will all meet on His Golden shores. Thanks for sharing. K xx

This is a lovely tribute to those who have gone before us. The words touched my heart yet made my soul sing. Your writing is creative, and the artwork is perfect for the subject you are writing about.

Hi Pam,
I don't know of Judi's difficulties, but you words paint a picture of loss with such care and tenderness that gives way for a certain feeling of being caressed by a higher intention... I love the feeling and emotional ties this poem gave me, so I can imagine what comfort they would offer Judi.

This poem is constructed and composed with a calming and considerate tone. The last stanza sends a message of hope and renewal and for me... a perfect way to end the poem that allows the mind to linger on the thought of.

Beautiful!

With our thoughts we create...
a cycle of renewal.

Kindest regards,
James.

Thanks for the review, James. judi posted a piece about her husband if you want to read it. He had a lot to get through, and it was too much for his body at one time. I appreciate your comments very much as you describe the tenderness or feeling "of being caressed by a higher intention." I am glad you liked the calm and considerate tone and the ending of the poem, as well. Thank you for your sincere thoughts and expression of renewal. It is not easy to write these kinds of pieces so your review meant a lot.

My complete pleasure Pam.
Yes, I would like to read Judi's post; thank you for the connection.
Hope your day is bright and peaceful.
