For One Who Mourns Comments

Born into this world; but, death is part of us. Nice work.

Esther...I still light a candle at Christmas...the dawn of the Millenium for me, was wracked with grief. Thank you for this lovely poem. Hugs, Dee

Esther, I tried to pass on this, several times! My tears just wouldn't let me do that! I just had to say that! No more need be said!

Hopefully, those who mourn will be comforted when they read this touching poem. Exceptional work, Esther. Warmest regards, Sandra

Beautifully lyrical, albeit sad, verse. Difficult to say more, when considering such a loss... Jack.

You captured the complexities involved with the mourning process very eloquently...no matter what specific type of loss is being mourned. Well done! Valerie Serendipity Anderson

This is beautiful Esther, like a lovely song. (From one who mourns)

My Dear Esther, Thanks for offering these sensitively chosen words of consolation and compassion. This poem touches my very centre. Bless you. love, Allie XXX

Esther, This one touched me. It's amazing how you wrote about such a tragic subject with such finesse. Preets

Esther - a surprising subject for a poem, but one which was so beautifully written, sad, hopeful and accepting all at once, connecting to our hearts, as the best poets do, without any apparent effort at all. - chuck

This poem touched me deeply because I have a July child with red hair. I am most fortunate that my little July Firecracker is still with me, but this is very heart touching work. As UH said, the eternal connection, one that can never be broken. Well written, Essemee. Scarlett

I know this feeling and you have touched my heart deeply. Thank you Esther for the heart warming piece. God Bless. Patricia

Very lovely, the eternal connection.

Esther, I think this is your best. Truly amazing work. It's been so wonderful watching you evolve since you came to this site. Have a 10 and a big hug from me. Hugs Anna xxx
