I am learning to see the beauty in poetry... thank you for sharing.

New memories

With silent tears

Healing balm of hope

In the laughter of the new

God holds them all.

Meaningful and beautiful words fro your heart.

Poetry is a form of healing and acceptance.

Thanks for sharing. The gals look like twins.

Julia is with us in spirit. You are blessed even in sorrow.

I lost my closest sister at age 35, my dad at age 65, my mom at 88, my beloved Jerry 12 years ago. They all had longer lives then Julia. I am now a young 89 next month and know the meaning of loves lost and how to appreciate my life in the present. Therefore your words of loss are so meaningful to me. Keep sharing your written talents and thoughts of our Lord.

Hugs, Cousin Soo-ling
