Judy,

I am so sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much for sharing this whole experience.
It is amazing, the whole experience you had with your husband at the cemetery.
It is as if The Lord was providing you ahead of time for future consolation.
My wedding was in 2016, and I had portions of that poem read at my wedding.
I will never regret doing that, as my.
beloved husband passed away 7 years later in 2023.
God bless you.

Like so many others, I have been really touched by this poem. I also agree with the author that writing can help you through difficult times. I wrote throughout my husband's illness and subsequent death, but have reached a stage now when the urge to write has gone. I'm not quite sure why...

I used this for my found poem in ELA. My theme was miniature golf, and every time I went, I was with my family, so when I found this poem, I was thrilled. I am a fifth grader who is 11 years old

Another great poem. I've had depression, but not quite as bad. However, it's great that you can write about it, as I'm sure it will connect with many people who know exactly what you are describing so well. Love and very best wishes, as always. Ann

I selected this poem to be read at my Oma´s(grandma´s) funeral, and was read by my cousin. The reason I picked it is because it fit perfectly and my Oma loved nature. Her funeral was on July 12th, 2024 and she passed away on September 20th, 2023.
