I realize this section is suppose to be about me. Even so,I believe it would be less a waste of space to display something more worth your time. Here's a beautiful poem I had to share. It's not for sale anywhere. It was recited on a radio show my husband listens to. The author's spouse and children passed away in separate and tragic events. However,through their strong faith have found peace knowing they are well looked after. I have two favorite poems and this is one of them. Hope you are enlightened.
In My Father's House
by Robert Freeman
No, not cold beneath the grasses,
Not close-walled within the tomb;
Rather, in my Father's mansion,
Living in another room.
Living, like the one who loves me,
Like my child with cheeks abloom,
Out of sight, at desk or school-book,
Busy in another room.
Nearer than my son whom fortune
Beckons where the strange land looms;
Just behind the hanging curtain,
Serving in another room.
Shall I doubt my Father's wisdom?
Shall I think of death as doom,
Or the stepping o'er the threshold
To a bigger, brighter room?
Shall I blame my Father's wisdom?
Shall I sit enswathed in gloom,
When I know my loves are happy,
Waiting in the other room?
