Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
Thank you, Tina, for offering kind condolences to Yvonne in the lines of your sweetly rhyming and comforting poem. Like you, I don't know the lovely lady Yvonne especially well, but I think we all know grief, and we know enough about life to realize what a devastating loss she is experiencing. Your beautiful image of the Virgin Mary with her reflection on the peaceful water reminds us of an obedient and godly woman who brought the Son of God into the world, only to watch Him cruelly taken away from her, even as God Himself willingly, and painfully, gave up His Son Jesus for us all, that we might live. And so we will all have the chance to be with the Lord forever, together. This is not the end!

That's exactly why I chose that picture! It symbolized Gods plan, which isn't always smooth and easy.
Thank you for the review and your thoughts:)

It was her son that passed away. I learned from Helen's post.(lyenochka) I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child.
Thank you for reading my friend:)

A very well-written heartfelt condolences poem to Yvonne and her family who mourns the death if a beloved son. The death if a child is always devastating no matter how old.

This poem, God Is Near, is a very thoughtful and timeless message for Yvonne at this unthinkable time, the loss of a son. Your words flow sweetly and purely to allow the reader to absorb the sentiment and message of hope.

I like the word absorb. If only I could take some pain from her, I would absorb it. I hurt for her as a mom. Thank you for the stars, Bill:)

Your poem speaks eloquently of your loving compassion and thoughtfulness towards Yvonne, and the faith and friendship to be found here on FS. Another dimension is added to poetry when God is invoked through prayer.

You are right. Theres something "other world-ly" about a prayer in poem form.
God knows Yvonnes heart and will give her peace eventually. She has been a great friend to me on FS and made me feel very encouraged and welcome here, as everyone has. I feel like FS is another dimension sometimes:)
Thank you Lisa, for reading my poem to Yvonne.

Dear Tina, Thank you for writing to Yvonne too!
Your words of sympathy and faith will help I know.
Knowing that her FanStory family will still be around, long after the relatives have gone, will do more to help her heal than anything else.
