This is such an inspiring and a heartfelt piece for Nomi, I've seen many poems for Nomi over the past few days, I can really feel that she is in the heart of many people. An excellent piece, Karenina. I enjoyed reading it.

Dear Karenina, this is such a beautiful poem for Nomi. I've been married almost 49 years and I cannot imagine the agony of loosing Jack. He's the other half of me. The scripture from John 16 is very comforting and we that know the Lord realize there's more to life than our earthly tour. In Christ we have this promised, cherished hope.

Nomi, I'm praying for you and your family that God will draw near to you all with His special comfort. My sincere condolences in your loss of Yvonne.

Love & Hugs across the miles,
Sal XOs

You have so many friends, where do they end. Me/ I am the silent eddy moving downstream, rarely making stops long enough to establish relationships. You are appreciated, and hope you are feeling well.

I nearly passed this one by as I'm wary of spiritual poetry but I'm so glad I stopped to read it. It's a beautiful tribute and the straightforward format works perfectly - its simplicity allows the feeling to shine through. I try to suggest something when I write a review but I really can't find anything to suggest with this one. I'm new to this site so don't know the circumstances behind the poem but it still brought tears to my eyes. Well done.

    Welcome to FanStory, Sue! Thanks so much for stopping to read and review this. Nomi is a much loved member here who !most his wife of 51 years when she passed away in her sleep last Wednesday. This is that kind of sure we care about one another and share through our writing, when one of us mourning. I'm so happy you're with us!

How terrible for Nomi, to find his dear wife dead beside him, there's been a whole host of tributes for the dear man, such a tragic thing for him, but hopefully the Lord will comfort Him, this is beautifully written Karen, blessings Roy

This is a touching poem Karenina with gentle words to soothe grief. It is difficult to write such a personal poem for someone we have never met, but human emotions are universal and I enjoyed the warm sentiments here, love Dolly x

    It helped that Nomi shared the circumstances of Yvonne's passing.
    I hope he finds comfort in the poems offered!

    Thanks, Dolly,

Every time I think of this shockingly sudden call to Heaven for Nomi's beautiful Yvonne, it hurts. I love your poem for them. Thank you for giving the background and what makes it so much harder for our dear Nomi.

    It was Nomi who shared the circumstances in a reply/review exchange...

    There were two chapter fours somehow, so per Tom, I edited to now be chapter seven...
reply by lyenochka on 10-Sep-2024
    Oh, I don't know how you do that. Debi was asking how to add Pam's poem to the book. Hope it's easy to do. I thought Tom had to do that.
reply by the author on 10-Sep-2024
    Tom told me to just go in and edit chapter four to the next available chapter...

    Who knew it'd be that easy?

    I don't know about moving Pam's poem...and I didn't ask Tom as I didn't know at the time!

    (I bet he can do it!)

I remember about Nomi and he is a very good rhyming poet. His poems usually flows very well. It's sad that his wife left him after 51 years of marriage. He still has friends here.

Well done.

Another beautiful expression of sympathy and support from someone in this community. It's a wonderful thing to see. I am continuing to pray for Nomi. Thanks for writing this for him and keeping us all reminded of his circumstances and his need for prayers.
