This is a mother writing about the people and major events in her life.
The book began as a legacy for my children with prayer-poems which I
have been writing for twenty years for my family's prayer-before-dinner
each Thanksgiving. Each family member has a verse written about their year.
On 9/11, I was working at New York-Presbyterian Hospital when the Towers
were hit and my staff hurriedly prepared our Intensive Care Unit to receive
victims. The horrible event resulted in the writing of a passionate poem which
also is included.
The deaths of three family members resulted in the writing of three elegies and
a troubled period of life resulted in a lengthy passionate work.
Spirituality and famiy history are the primary themes of the book. The book
follows an enlarging family as it has grown and developed over twenty years.
A number of works are devoted to solemn subjects, reflecting spirituality. There
are a total of 22 poems. The poems are diverse, many are solemn, some are
sacred, two are passionate and the Thanksgiving verses are true-to-life.
