What a wonderful, well written poem for Judi's husband. The words are so serene and touching. Each of us will one day pass on and reach the eternal gates of heaven. My sympathy to Judi for the loss of her recent loved one.

Thanks for the review, Rosemary. I appreciate your comments about the poem for Judi, the wording being serene, and passing on to the "eternal gates of heaven." Your condolences for Judi are very much appreciated, too. That will mean a lot to her.

Dear Pam,
A beautiful and moving poetic offering for judiverse and her loved ones.
I, too, was very sorry to learn of her husband's passing.
We have shared messages with one another, and I know your poetic offering - and the poetic offerings of others - mean a great deal to her.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Pam
This free verse uses line breaks well to enhance images and emotions. It shows you faith that we will see our loved ones again.
I think 'once again and 'once more' are too much alike. Did you use both to emphasize the fact.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

This is a beautiful expression of sympathy. The empathy you show in the opening expands as you create such lovely images of angels.I'm sure Judi appreciates the support.

This is very well written and it's very personal in your support for Judi. I also believe our loved ones, who have passed, are held in angel's wings, and God's Love, eternally. Good writing! :))

Thanks for the review, Jan. I appreciate your comments about the picture and words, as well as the poem and sincerity. I got a lovely review from her, and she and her husband had lived by the ocean and also by lakes in Indiana. Your poem was beautiful. Did you have any trouble adding to the book? I had never done one before.
