Hello Helen,
I haven't followed Nomi, but irregardless, having been married for 52 years myself, I can only imagine the emptiness that he must be feeling right now. Your poem was so touching gal. I too hope that God will comfort him and his family in this time of great loss. Thanks so much for sharing this gal.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

    Thank you so much, Tom! I worry more now about my husband's health and we've been married only 43 years.
    Appreciate the super six star review!
    Hugs!

    Hi Helen,
    is your husband dealing with a health issue? We can always pray for him. Age has a tendency to take a toll on us. 43 years is still a long time to be married, and it's a testament to those who know you. Too many people want to give up on marriage after a short time, forgetting that it's a covenant. We become one the longer we stay together, be that for better or worse.
    Blessings,
    Tom

After fifty plus years of marriage, Nolan and Yvonne traveled through good, bad, and difficult times, always together, as God guided their steps.
I did not know them personally, but I know it takes undying love to build a life together that many years.

It saddens me to imagine what Nolan might be feeling. Thank you Helen, for your beautiful, poetic tribute to their love and your prayer for God's comfort.

    Thank you so much, Lorraine. It was a shock to learn about her sudden passing. They have been a great team together raising their kids and grandkids. Hugs!

What an outstanding tribute to a faithful man in a marriage blessed by God as you pray for our God's comfort for him as he recalls his bride and their wonderful marriage.

This is a beautifully written and meaningful poem which Nomi will appreciate. It honours their love and marriage, acknowledges his grief and pain, but offers a reminder of eternal realities combined with hope and comfort. Really well done.

What a beautiful poem you wrote about Nomi's wife Yvonne. I really like the last two lines of the first stanza:
We only hope that love shines through
Our actions when our time is due

Well done.

This is lovely. I just learned of the death of Nomi's wife through Karenina's poem. He and Yvonne were married a long time and must have had a wonderful life together. Beautiful rhyme and a wonderful couplet to close. It's true we can't know when our time comes. I love the lines that Yvonne Is shining bright on heaven's beach. Her love and soul remain in reach." Those words bring comfort. judi

    You are welcome. From what I've read, she died peacefully. That can be a comfort. judi

I haven't read much in this book of poetry. I read your most recent post and thought I would look back at a previous post. Wonderful story and beautifully written poetry.

    Thank you so much, Frank. I don't know if you got to know Nomi. He doesn't post often but his posts are always are on the front page.
    Hugs!
reply by F. William Lester on 13-Sep-2024
    You're always welcome. I've not seen any of his works, but I've seen numerous chapters to the dedication to his wife that involved many authors. It is obvious he is well liked. I'll see if I can find him and read some of his writing. Have a wonderful day.

Absolutely beautiful. Wow, Nomi is going to love all of these. It is my favorite style with the AABB rhyme and my favorite verse was
Although in earthly form she's gone
His gift of grace, his sweet Yvonne*'

It tells so deeply of his love for her.
I still can't believe that he has to deal with this painful time but hope it helps to know we are there for him. Thanks so much for this lovely poem, Helen and for joining this book. Love, Debi

It is always a sad day we hen dear ones die. However may Nolan be comforted in the gift of the resurrection power. I do not know your belief, but I know as a Christian I you also believe in the gift of life through Christ. I joint you in prayer for Nolan to be comforted.
