In God's wisdom, our growth to spiritual maturity requires that we learn to live with loss, to accept an inner longing for the "heavenly city". One can only hope that the more we learn in this life, the closer we are to God--in this life and the next. These poems reflect my efforts to work through the pain of loss.
