Mom's Poetry: New Edition

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 familys 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 bookfollows 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 aresacred two are passionate and the Thanksgiving verses are true-to-life.
