You know how to give a voice to your feelings and have mastered the art to let them freely roam. I do not notice even a spark of fear for the sadness and so true, dear Val, sadness is a normal feeling we do not have to fear too much. If we can bravely let it in and bring it so superbly under words as in this fantastic poem, I am sure you will be able to enjoy the next morning's sun in all its colors.

So prominently expressed the void or the emptiness of mind, Valerie - it touched my heart and I can feel that pain of loss. At the end your ardent prayer brings tear in my eyes. Keep well Valerie.

The love that has now gone will ne'er return O'er this my mind, my soul, shall ever yearn Reality of life is reflected in the lines. Remember the past, the pastures sweet and fair. It is those sweet thoughts that will keep the light glowing without flickering. Beautiful poem expressing deep love. Thank you.

You have laid your heart bare with such depth of emotions, your plea for the light to shine on you again with hope and peace for the future as you struggle in the darkness of your bereavement. You have put into the most beautiful lines what it means to you to lose your beloved! Val your words shine with a beautiful light! I hope you find peace, hope and strength Val!
