To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

    This a beautiful compulation of some of the tenderest emotions human kind has to offer.

    A thoughtful selection of poems that provokes emotional closure to lifes greatest challenge, loosing the physical form, death. The memory of the those we have lost stil lingers in our hearts as these poets have shown in their touching memories. i will reread often for comfort and give as a gift to those who are experiencing grief.
